From the AP:
Ruth Graham retained her beauty even in death and surely “had a great reception in heaven,” an ailing Billy Graham told a packed auditorium of mourners who gathered Saturday to remember his beloved wife.
“I wish you could look in that casket because she’s so beautiful,” said Graham, clinging to his walker. “She was a wonderful woman.”…
Billy Graham, who is 88 and is largely confined to the couple’s home in Montreat by several ailments, wasn’t expected to speak Saturday. But the world’s most renowned evangelist, who preached to more than 210 million people during his six-decade career, surprised the crowd with his words, perhaps spurred by the sight of his 19 grandchildren.
