Ruth Graham has passed away

Ruth Graham - the wife of evangelist Billy Graham - passed away this afternoon at 5:05 p.m. at the couple's home in Montreat, in the North Carolina mountains, at the age of 87.

She was born in China, which I didn't know until just now. Ruth and Billy had been married for 63 years, after meeting while students at Wheaton College in Chicago.

Prayers going out from here to the Graham family tonight, as they are no doubt from all over the world.
