PLAINS On Sunday, two weeks after making the cheerful announcement that there was no sign of cancer on his brain, former President Jimmy Carter shared much more somber news with his church family in Plains.
His grandson, 28-year-old Jeremy Carter, had died just hours earlier.
Sporting his typical bolo tie, the 91-year-old Carter arrived about 25 minutes late for his regular Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church the first time hed ever been tardy, he said and offered a surprising amount of insight into his familys heartbreak before delivering his previously planned lesson.

President Carter is an amazing human being. He still taught his Sunday school class.
