Miss You Dad

On February 21, 2018, my dad passed away at his home in Montreat, North Carolina.  He was released from this earthly realm and entered where he always wanted to be -- his forever home.  We can only imagine how he was gloriously greeted by His Savior, Jesus the Messiah, whom he so faithfully served for 99 full years.  I know he heard, “Well done good and faithful servant…enter into the joy of your Master” (Matthew 25:21).  Perhaps dad is now seated at the wedding banquet with mom, surrounded by a heavenly host, waiting for all of us to join them!

    Ned and Tina,

    You have had a busy day today. I watched the service…we who have lived during his generation have been participants in a miraculous move of the Spirit and today yet more miracles came into view. Blessed is HaShem, the beneficent One, to whom it is fitting to give thanks and praise! I felt like I was there by your side, loving you, loving all you Grahams. It is full of portent and hope, his change of address…Rob and I are mourning and rejoicing and keenly feel this event, in this world and in the heavenlies. Loving you and Ned and the boys from the Olympic Peninsula, and praying that you all will be empowered mightily and humbly to fill Billy’s role. You have been prepared.

    Love,
    Denise H.

    I hope and pray that SOLACE & AHAVAT ACHIM are the most enervating forces in your current realm. With much AWE for who he was and what he gifted the world. And continued prayer that the world becomes an even better home for all of G-D’s creation.

    Tina,

    You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I have spent the day in reflection as I reminded of words you once shared said by Mr. Graham. That is he could do it all over; he’d spend more time with whom he’d share eternity. It is the time we spend with Him, that will decide everything else. I rejoice in knowing he gets to be with our Father, finally; after a full life, and a life full of service.

    Love you,
    Ashleigh

    Dear Tina, Ned & boys,

    So sorry for your loss and he will be missed by everyone his life touched!

    Dr. Graham was ALWAYS so very polite and kind to me in every moment I served he and Ruth. It was such a privilege to help in their home and I have so many memories, (some of which are rather humorous)!

    I pray you all are doing just fine. After reviewing your East Gates newsletter, I can tell you have been extremely busy helping the Chinese population grow in Christ.

    God bless and I love you!

    Tina and Ned,

    I know you and the family are probably being inundated with phone calls and text messages, but I wanted to let you both know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. My heart was truly saddened this morning as we heard the news. This world has lost a great light. Sorry for us but so happy for him to be with our Father.

    Dearest Tina and Ned,

    So many are mourning with you. Your dad touched so many lives, including mine. we know where he lives now and may rejoice in that, but that knowledge doesn’t stop your hearts from missing him.

    May our Almighty, All-knowing, All-loving Father comfort and encourage your hearts, as only He can.

    Love and prayers,
    Tom & Gretchen Puentes

    Our dearest Ned and Christina,

    Oh, how our affectionate love and prayers are reaching out to you just now from this side of the Atlantic. We were both praying for all of you in the family on this very night before your father’s “House Call.” Ned — and with such specific fervor, that afterwards, we both came under the conviction that he was to depart from us all that very night.

    How we bless the Lord, both of us, for what Billy’s ministry — and that of Ruth — has done in the lives of us over these past momentous years. May the blessed Holy Spirit fill you now with His comfort and grace. Don’t reply…you will be inundated.

    Our grateful love,

    Dear Ned and Tina,

    Dr. Graham was surely an “American Pastor.” He’ll be missed by all!!

    My prayers are with you and your family. ?????
    I read the news nearly two hours ago. I will remember Rev. Billy Graham forever.
