Ruth Graham?

What will be the reprecussions of the death of Ruth Graham (wife of Rev. Billy Graham)?

Update:

I meant how will her passing affect the religious world? Or will it? And I think its a very relevant question on the day of her death. Mrs. Graham was a large part of the religious society. Her passing shouldnt be a footnote on the page of today. Mrs. Graham was someone every person- especially women- could look up to and model themselves after in faith, marriage and motherhood.

    Im sure that Billy Graham will grieve much for his wife of many years, and so will his children, having had a wonderful mother and wife. The wonderful thing is tho, is that they will not grieve like those who have no hope, because they will know with assurance that Ruth will go to be with her Lord and Saviour - with Christ, which is far far better. They also know, that they will see her again, not in the same capacity as wife and mother, but nevertheless, the meeting will be sweet someday. Their relationship will then be even better than the one they have enjoyed here. There is so much to look forward to as a Christian believer.

    It will be a sad and happy day at the same time. Those who know her personally will grieve for her absence on this earth. However, they will all rejoice that she is in heaven and no longer burdened with pain and suffering. Billy will miss her terribly and long to be gone with her. He soon may be. The country will mourn for a few minutes and that is all. Billy will have a bigger deal made of his passing as he is the more recognizable world wide. I am sure people will come from all over the world to pay respects to him at his passing.

    I think it will not be too much longer before Billy follows..that is often how it turns out.

    she lived a good life..she did a lot of good and she will be missed!

    I always loved the story her kids told about when they were little and when one would lose a tooth, if it was muddy out she would make little muddy footprints on their pillow with a tooth pick..or at Christmas she would leave one of "Santas" boot stuck in the chimney

    As with any life she will be celebrated for everything she has done. She has made a great impact on many people. She has done great work for the Kingdom of Heaven. When she is gone, we will praise GOD for her and the life she lead. we will rejoice that she is with the Lord and we will one-day see her again.

    (odd question)

    The only one I think will be the great sadness her passing will bring to those who love her. I think that Pastor Graham and his children,etc. will be strong because they know what the future holds for her and them.
