I'll just say it on the talk page.
I'm getting tired of being reverted all the time, so I'll just say it here. I think the sentence "Graham message caught fire ..." should be "Graham's message ...". I think it's a possessive. The message of Mr. Graham. And possessives use an apostrophe except in unusual cases.
On another matter, I was about to make another change, but I'm sure it will just be reverted. I think "Graham was parted from his wife of over 60 years" should be "Graham's wife of over 60 years passed away". I understand that we try to use nice expressions for death, especially in the extremely devout, such as "called home to the Lord" and such, but, in this day and age "was parted" could easily be taken to refer to a divorce. That's ''not'' what we want to say.
