Carter concluded her heartfelt tribute with a special section addressed to her late husband himself. The extremely personal words appear in full below:

“You are the most honorable person that I have ever had the privilege to know. And I got to be your wife and the mother of your children. Thank you for giving me all the love in my life.

“Nothing could prepare our family for this moment, but we will do our best to follow our dreams and honor the legacy you’ve left behind. I will love you always and forever.”

Lynda Carter met Altman in the wake of her divorce from producer Ron Samuels, and the couple married in 1984. She has long credited Altman with incentivizing her to seek treatment for her alcoholism. According to published reports, he passed away due to complications following a medical procedure. Entertainment Hub sends our condolences to Carter and her family during this most trying of times.
