WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., issued the following statement on the death of Rev. Billy Graham:

“Rev. Graham lived a remarkable life in service to God and his fellow man. His ministry was instrumental in spreading the Gospel to the far corners of the world. As the refrain from one of my favorite hymns reminds me, ‘When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus we’ll sing and shout the victory.’ Today Billy Graham is singing and shouting.”
