North Carolina: Former U.S. President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura paid their respects on Monday, February 26, to the late evangelist preacher Billy Graham, who died last week at age 99.
"If there's such a thing as a humble shepherd of the lord, Billy Graham is that person," Bush said outside Graham's childhood home in North Carolina.
Graham died at 8:00 am EST (1300 GMT) last Wednesday, February 21, at his home in Montreat, North Carolina, according to Jeremy Blume, a spokesman for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. According to his ministry, he preached Christianity to more people than anyone else in history, reaching hundreds of millions of people either in person or via TV and satellite links.
