In a tweet posted yesterday, Franklin Graham recalled the call that brought the news of his father’s passing:
Three years ago today I received the call that my father @BillyGraham had passed away—I’ll never forget it. I knew at that moment that his faith had become sight. pic.twitter.com/H7rTDkmjSg

Franklin Graham’s son Will, also following in the family heritage of evangelism, shared his thoughts in a tweet that pointed to “the promise of eternity for those who call on Jesus as Savior.”
Three years ago this morning, my grandfather @BillyGraham slipped silently & sweetly into the presence of Jesus. While I still miss him greatly, I know that it’s just temporary. With the promise of eternity for those who call on Jesus as Savior, I will see him again soon. pic.twitter.com/bj6soyCQmD

The remembrances of Billy Graham stretched far beyond the Graham family, however. Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, and founder of the Harvest Crusades, noted Graham’s legacy, saying he was “used by God to lead millions of people to Christ”:
Three years ago, on this day, Billy Graham went to Heaven. Can you imagine the rewards that were awaiting this singular servant of God? Billy was used by God to lead millions of people to Christ. He is deeply missed pic.twitter.com/yaHIk7Gnii

And pastor and author Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Christ, asked a key question: Who’s Billy’s successor? Millions of contagious Christians who are trained, equipped and deployed:
Billy Graham graduated to heaven 3 years ago today. God used him to make an awesome impact! Who’s Billy’s successor? Millions of contagious Christians who are trained, equipped and deployed. I’m giving rest of my life to fulfilling that mission!

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association tweeted out a request for responses from those who may have attended a Billy Graham crusade and received many responses:
Did you ever attend a @BillyGraham Crusade? Comment with the city and year you heard him preach as we honor his life and legacy—3 years after his homegoing.
