Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter volunteered for Habitat for Humanity for more than 35 years in 14 countries on more than 4,300 homes.

Bay Area residents had an opportunity on Thursday to write a final farewell message to the late President Jimmy Carter. Habitat for Humanity had two locations, in San Jose and Oakland, where people could come and write on a door and wall frame.

The public is invited to pay tribute to Carter by signing the wall and door raised at the Arnot Mall by Chemung, Steuben and Schuyler volunteers.
