Franklin Graham is another well-known minister mourning the loss of Sen. Edward Kennedy.
    
He sent condolences to the Kennedy family on behalf of himself and his father - the Reverend Billy Graham.
    
Graham said, "Kennedy's passing reminds us once again of the responsibility we all have to use the gifts God has given us both faithfully and selflessly.
    
It also reminds us of life's brevity and of the fact that someday we must all stand before God to give an account."
