Ruth Graham was a very strong, devoted Christian, who will be sadly missed. I know that she must have had a great amount of joy in her life by watching how many people changed their lives through the evangelizing of her husband.
I was fortunate to have seen Billy Graham 3 times, and they were very moving moments that I personally will never forget. Ruth Graham sacrificed her family time to bring people to God by allowing her Husband to evangelize worldwide.Without her, there would not be as many Christians, she indeed played a huge part in this.
I know as a Christian, that although her family will be sad that Ruth has died, they will also be celebrating that she is now in peace with her heavenly Father.
