Gary Michael Has Died

by John Shore on April 25, 2009 · 10 comments

Gary Michael, the man I wrote about here, has died. Thank you all for your very kind prayers.

In this life Gary was blind. Now, with God, he sees. In this life Gary had the mind of a child. Now, with God, his mind knows no bounds.

Dear John,

I am sorry to hear that Gary has passed, for the only reason is those he left behind will go through the grieving process and it will be difficult from time to time.

I pray that process is brought on by smiles of times that once were, bringing with them smiles and joy in remembering.

Be Well, Let the feelings be as they may and God will comfort you.

Much Love & Blessings to you and the family,

Andrea Pompeo, NYC

I am sorry to hear this John. I will pray for the Lord to comfort Karen and Gary's loved ones in their time of grieving. I agree with your simple yet beautiful expression of Gary's home-going. I believe he is now experiencing a joy like he has never known. A joy that we too will experience as believers.
