The Rev. Billy Graham, the Christian evangelist known as "America's pastor," died Wednesday after battling various health ailments.
He was 99.
Billy Graham's son, Franklin Graham, posted a tribute to him on Facebook following the news of his father's death.
"Where is Heaven?" Franklin Graham recalled his father being asked, to which he then replied, "Heaven is where Jesus is, and I am going to Him soon!"

“He will be missed by our family, his colleagues, faithful ministry partners, and, yes, many around the world,” Franklin Graham wrote. “But what joy he has to be welcomed by God the Father, and be reunited with my mother in the presence of Jesus who speaks peace to eternal souls.”
