WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the passing of Reverend Billy Graham.

“One of the greatest messengers of Christ has gone to his heavenly reward.  Dr. Graham spread the good news to millions across the world and led a life beyond reproach. 

“He was a counselor to presidents, a pastor to the masses, and most of all – a loving, caring husband, father, and grandfather.  May Dr. Graham rest in peace.”
