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.

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 funeral of former president Jimmy Carter featured a eulogy from the late former president Gerald Ford, the Republican he ousted from the presidency in a bitter 1976 race but went on to befriend in the kind of Washington relationship that now seems like a relic of a bygone era.
