4. Franklin Graham
Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, who now serves as president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse, noted that the Bushes were close friends of his family.
"My deepest condolences and prayers for President George H.W. Bush and the family as they have lost a dear wife, mother, grandmother, and much more. Former First Lady Barbara Bush was a class act," the evangelist wrote on Facebook.
"The Bushes were close friends of my parents and our family. Here's a photo that is special to us from when they visited the Billy Graham Library and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association a few years ago," he added, linking to the photo in question.
Graham said that he knows the Bush family "would appreciate all of our prayers during this time."
