As tributes continue to pour in for Rosalynn Carter, the Carter family met with the artist who produced a mural honoring the former first lady and her husband, former President Jimmy Carter. The work of art is etched into the grass at Freedom Park, near Little Five Points.

The family is still trying to find a way to cope.

"We’re all sad. We’re dealing with all of this in our own ways," Jason Carter said.

"We’re worried about him. He’s now spent three days without her, and we don’t think he ever planned to have done that," Jason Carter said.
