President Carter's funeral saw many dignitaries, including all living former presidents and their spouses, except Michelle Obama.
Reports suggest scheduling conflicts in Hawaii prevented Mrs. Obama's attendance at the memorial service in Washington D.C.
Despite her absence, the Obamas released a heartfelt statement expressing their condolences and admiration for President Carter.
The gathering of living former presidents was a significant event, marking the first time since 2018's George H.W. Bush funeral.
