Former President Jimmy Carter died Sunday, Dec. 29, at 100 years old. His death came just over a year after the death of his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.

Perhaps Carter’s most revealing poem, “I Wanted to Share My Father’s World,” concerns the man who never got to see his namesake son’s achievements. He wrote that he despised Earl’s discipline, and swallowed hunger for “just a word of praise.”

The Carters, who long put their faith into action, were in Milwaukee in June 1989 as part of a Habitat for Humanity project building homes. They, along with scores of volunteers, hammered, sawed and painted to construct six homes near North 23rd and West Walnut streets.

Jimmy Carter’s remains, flown from Georgia on Tuesday, will be taken in a procession to the U.S. Capitol, where he will lie in state for two days.

The Carters met and raised their family in Plains, Ga. and returned to their beloved hometown after Jimmy's presidency

"From the Plains Peanut Festival to the Governor’s Mansion, to the White House—and to communities around the globe—they remained grounded and humble, and Plains always remained home in their hearts.”

On Tuesday, Carter's body will be flown from Atlanta to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where his casket will be transferred with ceremony to a hearse. From there, a motorcade will proceed to the U.S. Navy Memorial, where his casket will then be transferred from a hearse to a horse-drawn caisson with ceremony.

President Jimmy Carter will continue to lie in state Wednesday after his remains arrived in Washington a day earlier as part of state funeral rites. The Georgia Democrat and 39th president died Dec. 29 at the age of 100.
