"The last crusade I did with Billy was in San Antonio in 1997. As always, I was honored to be invited but I also knew that my marriage was falling apart and that it might not survive. ... Billy knew what was going on with me personally, so I asked if I could speak with him before my performance.

"I nervously explained what was going on in my life and he listened without ever losing the kindness in his eyes. He then said to me 'Amy, I have children and grandchildren who love the Lord ... but some of them take the long way home.'

She continues, "He asked to pray for me and my struggling family. I never shared the stage with him again after my performance that night. Billy is now home where he has longed to be ... reunited with his beloved Ruth and in the presence of the loving God he proclaimed around the world. We are all heading home too ... some of us just take the long way. I look forward to seeing Billy again on the other side."
