Former President Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn's husband of 77 years, took his spot in the front row in what's been his second public appearance this year.

Described as sometimes a sorority, Rosalynn Carter knew firsthand the hardships that came with the unofficial role of first lady and would keep in touch with those who were second-handedly elected into the 'first ladies club.'

Former first ladies Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton were in the front row, honoring the life and legacy of the woman who paved the path they walked as a testament to the unspoken sisterhood they share and her wisdom on how to make the role their own.
