He's gonna get a huge welcome where he's going. Wink

Godspeed Dr. Graham!

He walked the walk, and he never let fame change him or his focus on Christ Jesus.

Thank you, Dr. Graham, for your life and your example. You are reunited with the love of your life, Ruth, and you are reunited with our loving Father in Heaven. What a day indeed.

Just a side note, I can remember being taken (unwilling at the time I’ll admit) to his revivals when I was probably junior high age by my parents. As an adult, I know I was blessed to have heard him. His son is a great guy as well.

My parents traveled by train from the English Midlands to hear him speak in London at one of his early crusades, early to mid 1950s.

A life well lived.

I volunteered as a counselor for the altar call at his 2nd to last crusade. Powerful. It was approx 2004 at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.

A consistent message of love and fellowship through the decades. A sea anchor through times of turmoil. Another icon—this time for multiple generations, is gone. The Nation will miss him.

Anyone, Christian or not, should look to Graham as an example.

A fine man.
