Billy Graham’s Son Rev. Franklin: His Tombstone Will Simply Read ‘Preacher’ | TODAY

Billy Graham always brings me to tears. I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit through him.

I am still so touched of Rev. Graham's passing. He was a faithful servant of the Lord. Today, he is in Heaven, in the presence of the God he loved so much and devoted himself on preaching the Gospel. The day I read that he passed away, Matthew 25:21, came to my mind. 1 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!".

I was in Nashville Tennessee in 2000, and had been at Baptist hospital with my premature baby getting blood transfusions. I heard that Billy Graham was at the Collasium that night. My dad and mom walked with me to the stadium to see him deliver an amazing sermon. I feel blessed to have gotten that opportunity. It was once in a lifetime, and I will never forget that night. His sermon is exactly the words I needed to comfort my heart in that difficult time. My babygirl is a beautiful young lady. God answers prayers, always!

Thank you God for giving us so many wonderful years with Rev. Billy Graham. Each American should remember his words and the way he tried to lead this country. He truly was America's Preacher. And God love and comfort you Franklin and your whole family.

I had heard of Rev Billy Graham as a child but never heard his sermons until a few years back. What an amazing man of God. To live a life, completely devoted to our Lord & Savior is an amazing thing that I pray I’m able to do. Rev Graham told millions of the love of God and saved millions to dance in heaven! He’ll be missed tremendously here. But his impact will never be forgotten!

From one of the many millions your words have touched!!

Thank God for men like Billy Graham, never met him, read his books, liste ed to tapes, watch several of his crusades, and one thing I know he change my life, I cry a little at his passing and hope to see him face to face one day. Thank God for you.

The Lord fell upon me this morning as I watched your father's tribute, it's God that gives us piece. I know that was God because he just had me on my knees thanking him before going to church this morning God is awesome, he's my best friend before anyone in this world.

What a man of God stood with us in South Africa in the days of apartheid and refused to preach to a segregated audience.

Death is not lost but Gain for Our Beloved Billy Graham for the Millions of souls that are saved for Our Lord Jesus Christ!!

[shawnadequan]

Condolences!What a fabulous "response" from the Rev Graham's son!xxx

[jackkircher]

I can't get over how much Franklin resembles his father in looks, voice and manner. My heart goes out to the Graham family! "Absent from the body-PRESENT the Lord!". He has heard His Father's final call, "WELL DONE thou good and FAITHFUL servant!". There will never be another to hold a candle to his ability to reach millions with the gospel of Christ!
