  1. Donna Early

    I never met Reverend Graham but somehow felt so close to him and Ruth. I’ve loved God all my life, but Billy’s love and commitment and conviction and compassion and boldness and his kind humble spirit inspired me love deeper and live bolder and to preach the Word with my life, everyday. I’m grateful.

  2. Joseph De Carlo

    I am saddened to hear about the loss of Billy Graham, the founder of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). The BGEA played the greatest role in my decision to get re-baptized at First Baptist Church Woodstock in Woodstock, Georgia on May 3, 2015.

  3. Susan Coltrane

    As a small child in the 60s I used to love to sit in front of my grandparents’ new TV and watch Rev. Graham preach and hear Ethel Waters sing. The message and the memory can be shared over again to this generation by the wonderful library and I can’t wait to share with my children’s group!

  4. Diane Wadlington

    We love this man of God and are ever grateful for his presence in this world at this time. So proud of all he did and stood for. We know he is SO very happy today in the presence of our Lord and Savior, and his wonderful wife Ruth. What joy there is. Lynn and Diane

    To the Graham family: Our sympathies on losing your earthly father but our joy that Mr. Graham is with his Heavenly Father now. With utmost respect, Gloria and Gailen Keiffer

    Reverend Graham was a “man after God’s own heart.” He set the moral compass for those of us growing up in the 50s and 60s. How we need another such man today. Prayers for his family.

  7. Laurie Rehmeier

    Your father’s teachings changed my life. I still have the pamphlets I was sent many, many years ago. Such a man of God who wanted nothing but to serve his Father. What a reunion that must have been when he met his Savior face to face.

    As a small boy of 5 years, my parents took me to a wedding reception in Draper, NC. As we entered, a tall, blond friend of the groom lifted me up and with a smile said, “Hey, Frankie. Nice to see you again.” It was Billy Graham. Today at 80, I’ve never forgotten the time he took for a tiny boy!
