Steve Ford gave his father’s posthumous elegy for Jimmy Carter at Washington National Cathedral. “I’m looking forward to our reunion,” the 38th president wrote. “We have much to catch up on.”

The son of the late President Gerald Ford delivered a posthumous eulogy that his father wrote to deliver at the memorial service for former President Jimmy Carter. Ford died in 2006.

Gerald Ford won’t be the only person speaking beyond the grave. Carter’s vice president, Walter Mondale, also had a eulogy he wrote for Carter read by his son, Ted Mondale. Walter Mondale died in 2021 at the age of 93. He was born four years after Carter.
