Todd Starnes: Heaven Gained A Hero Today In Passing Of Evangelist Billy Graham

Todd Starnes joined the "Fox & Friends" co-hosts Wednesday morning to react to the passing of iconic Christian evangelist Rev. Billy Graham.

Graham, whose worldwide crusades and role as adviser to decades of U.S. presidents made him one of the best known religious figures of his time, died Wednesday at age 99 at his home in Montreat, N.C.

"I can only imagine the scene in heaven this morning, all those tens of thousands of people who came to know Christ at those crusades over the years welcoming Billy Graham home," Starnes said. "What an amazing morning that is."

Billy Graham - a good and faithful servant. Well done.

He said Graham, who had been in ill health for a number of years, is no longer in pain and has been reunited with his wife, Ruth, who passed away in 2007.

"What a great day in heaven it is today, but very sad for all of us left behind," Starnes said
