Per The Washington Post:
Carter’s family said she specifically wanted Melania Trump to know she was invited to the service. In a time of division, she hoped all the first ladies would join in a show of solidarity as her farewell tribute.
“My grandmother campaigned against and voted against some of their husbands,” said Jason Carter, the Carters’ grandson. “But she believed that there are some things that are more important than politics.”
Carter wanted Trump included out of respect for the often unsung role of first ladies, according to her family and friends.“They know what goes into the job,” said Paul Costello, who worked for Rosalynn Carter in the White House. “I wouldn’t call them best buddies, but I think they have a great deal of respect. … A unique bond, no matter what party they’re in or no matter how well their husband is respected or not respected.”
Melania took up Rosalynn’s invitation and outshined the other former First Ladies in attendance.
Melania was seated in the front row next to Michelle Obama, with Laura Bush on her other side.
There was an interesting event that occurred during the beginning of the service and that is the sun started to shine on Melania Trump while the other former First Ladies were left in the shadows.
Look at her here:
In a room full of dark , the sun shines in only on Melania.
