President Bush Statement on Ruth Graham's Death

June 14, 2007

Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of Ruth Bell Graham, a remarkable woman of faith whose life was defined by her belief in a personal, loving and gracious God. She was an encouraging friend, accomplished poet and devoted mother of five and grandmother of 19.

Ruth's marriage to her husband Billy was a true and loving partnership. As the wife of the world's most beloved evangelist, she inspired people around the world with her humor, intelligence, elegance and kindness. Laura and I offer our prayers and condolences to Billy and the Graham family.
