In Memory of Ruth Bell Graham
Ruth Graham’s life was filled with family, friends, and ministry. She died to this life on June 14. The Graham family has assembled a photo album, accompanied by one of her favorite hymns, that - in their words - represents only a small portion of the people and places that were close to her.
You can see it here.
There's a lot of inspiration to draw from this behind-the-scenes woman. Pieces of her wisdom are scattered throughout the site:

Thank you, Barbara.
What a beautiful tribute. What an extraordinary walk on earth this woman had.
It was inspiring.

I was so inspired by a poem by Ruth on Noel Piper's blog. It showed the raw emotions she must have had, but the intentional submission she chose to show, at times when Billy had to leave and she had to stay home.

Thank you for the link. She is another of my heroes. I am challenged by her devotion to Christ and ability to face the challenges of her life so gracefully.

This world lost a person of such grace and character with her passing. Thanks for sharing where to find these photos!

Mrs. Graham's memorial service was broadcast on a live webcast. I missed it, so wanted to see if I could find it anywhere. I found it here:

It is in 2 parts; look just to the right of the article and you'll see the links.
The service is beautiful. But, I tell ya: Mrs. Graham's sister, Rosa, and Franklin, too, had some whoppers to "tell" on Mrs. Graham! She was truly a phenomenal woman of God.
