Wow. that's was a wonderful eulogy, well delivered by President Ford's son. Perhaps the best thing we can say, among many, about Ford and Carter is that they both proved that you don't have to hate your opponent.

There is an uncanny and extremely timely message from Former President Ford that could not be any more relevant in our politics today. What a beautiful friendship these two men had!

[@PastorBillWisneski]

This was one of the classiest things I have seen in a long time. Well done.

[@kristinLB]

Something about carters passing and what’s happening in these times seems divinely guided.

[@shannonsedlak2417]

This was the most beautiful eulogy.

[@balll-bealife-long-learner1895]

Quite a moving and beautiful eulogy. God bless everyone who grieves.

Beautiful eulogy from President Ford delivered by his son. RIP Jimmy Carter. Truly touching moment.

[@joyfullone3968]

How very wonderful to hear kind, loving, intelligent and authentic words at this funeral of President Carter and in America too at this time when we don’t hear so many positive speeches being given!

[@dorotheahouston1962]

God will welcome President Carter, a.truly great mam,!!❤❤❤

[@intervibist]

Our nation was fortunate to have such decent men as president. May we be wise enough to follow their examples.

[@KeithK-r4e]

RIP President Carter

Jimmy has transcended to ages. A good man. no more, no less.

[@herecomesforego1787]

The voice itself is pleasantly distinctly reminiscent of Gerald Ford - a poignant baton pass to the end of an era

[@zhugeliang1000]

Wow…excellent, eloquent, honest. Are gentlemen really so few and far between?

[@paullukasik8698]

Very emotional, surprised to hear this !!

[@debrabaumgartner7375]

Steven Ford you are a Class Act ❤

[@dianerosegrecoallen4935]

Sounds like this was difficult to read handwritten eulogy by Your father about his friend Jimmy Carter. Well done. Sending sympathies to all presidential families and colleagues. As you reflect on Jimmy Carters career and life. ❤️‍🩹

[@kenandcamera]

Absolutely, President Carter truly lived his religion. He practiced what he preached. So much respect for the man.

[@dorotheahouston1962]

You forgot to mention that President Carter was heroic in World War 2❤❤

[@k53ss22]

This is so lovely

[@wendycannarile7116]

Beautiful!

Jesus will welcome President Carter.

Looked like Trump was thinking 💭 “That could be me if it weren’t for that dang chart 📈 i

[@LS-up7qv]

I really couldn't help but notice that while Steven Ford's gave his eulogy, with an emphasis on Ford and Carter's friendship despite their rivalry, that it contrasted with a lot of pettiness displayed on the part of the former presidents and their wives. The Bushes wouldn't acknowledge Trump. I used to think so much of Laura Bush, but found her and her smirky expression very disappointing. Jill Biden and Kamala Harris were two icebergs sitting side by side. Joe Biden looked like he was napping, Trump, well I have no words for him and his general obnoxiousness. Obama behaved pretty well, but Michelle not showing up displayed a not surprising total lack of class. She just pretends to have it but actions speak louder than words. She just couldn't be bothered to leave Hawaii and meet an obligation that former first ladies typically meet. The Clintons weren't too bad but isolated themselves somewhat. I say all of this in light of Steven Ford's speech which had a theme of unity between rivals. Apparently Obama was the only one who did his "homework" and tried to be civil to a rival. I am not a fan of his, but at least he tried to do the "civil".

[@CUzzell]

I remember him as a young blonde actor on a soap opera. He has a lot less hair these days

[@jeffmattson5766]

He broke up with Meg Ryan in “When Harry Met Sally.”

“Distances have a way of vanishing when measured in values” brilliant. 🙌🫶👏 #GeraldFord #JimmyCarter #presidentialaffairs
