He was ailing for years...sad that he didn't reach 100...I'm sure his son Franklin Graham will have a dedication on his father's 100th Birthday...

I also won't doubt that other ministers who walked and thought that they could be as good as Billy Graham will go as well this year or near it...

Examples...

Ernest Angely...he's 96.
Charles Stanley...he's 86.
Pat Robertson...he's in his 80's.

But even if we live 100 years on earth...we'll live 100,000,000 years in Heaven.

Godspeed!

An example to us all in how to live a clean, fulfilling life, his only regret being possibly that he exhibited too close a relationship to politicians at times, or more likely they approached him in the attempt that something of his magic might rub off onto them for electoral gain.
