    In a world and time of televangelists and sometimes questionable behaviour I have always admired the Grahams. They have role modeled love and respect for each other in a way we have rarely seen.

    I read about recent controversy regarding a burial place for the Grahams. I hope that she was able to leave this earth with as much peace and dignity as she brought to it.

    Yep.

    In a day of fakes and snake oil salesmen, they were the real thing.

    Consistently. Till the end.
