  1. Tim Larribau

    I was 4 years old in Edmonton in 1980. I only have a snapshot memory of a man in blue far away in the center of a crowded stadium. It was Billy Graham. I’m thankful to have lived in his time and seen his testimony to the simple truth in Jesus Christ.

  2. Dennis Steidinger

    My condolences to all the family. I enjoyed working at The Cove and volunteering at the Chapel! I was always inspired to see Gigi interact with the guests at the meals. It was also an honor to be at the picnic with Franklin, etc. God bless the continued work of the BGEA!

  3. Barbara Seabold

    I was raised Catholic and knew there was a God but not as my personal Savior. My ex-in-laws who were saved witnessed to me often to no avail, but in July ’72 I watched a Billy Graham Crusade on TV and I accepted the Lord. It has made such a difference in my life as has Billy Graham through the years!

  4. Veva Moss

    I was saved after watching a Billy Graham Crusade from Southern California in 1969! I was 13 years old and born again that night! Thank you, Billy Graham for allowing our Lord to use you to reach so many, especially that 13 year old teenager! Rest in the arms of Jesus, you are at home!

  5. Judith Halvorsen

    While this is a very tearful “good-bye” from this earth, we rejoice that the most wonderful Rev. Dr. Graham has been welcomed into the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to the smiling embrace of his dearest Ruth. I attended several Crusades and pray for you, his family and this world.

    Billy was a messenger from God as were the many prophets of old. During his life he led tens of thousands to Christ. I am quite confident that with his death and legacy that he left behind, many more are being led into the Kingdom of God. He will be greatly missed!

  7. Terri Laurian

    Folks at work would call me “Graham girl” due to the fact that I am a Christian. They may have thought they were insulting me, but I considered it a great honor. This world has lost a “true” man of God. Thankful to see his children pick up the “torch.” I see Jesus welcoming him home; Ruth too.

  8. Debbie Pursell

    I received Christ as a child at the BG crusade at the Astrodome in Houston, 1964. Will never forget it! Was amazed the day Mr. Graham passed to hear the gospel message in mainstream news with replays of his preaching and Franklin’s interview! Will continue to support BGEA, but will miss his presence.
