Details

Description

Once bitter political rivals, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford later became close friends. The two presidents would promise each other to deliver a eulogy at the other’s funeral. Carter fulfilled his promise after Ford died in 2006. At Carter’s funeral, Ford’s son, Steven Ford, realized his end of the deal. “God did a good thing when he made your dad,” Steven Ford told the Carter children. He then read from a letter that Gerald Ford had written for Carter. #CNN #News
