Dear Michael,

It has been awhile since I last saw you and spoke with you, yet I still

have fond memories of you. I remember when you first came to family camp

many years ago. You watched everything very closely and spoke with many

people.

I still remember you offering to help without being asked and staying

after meals to help clean up when you could.

I have heard that you physical body has weakened and not improving. It

just reminds us all of how transient this physical life as we know it

is. We all experience love, sorrow, joy, pain and longing in our lives.

Many have asked and wondered about what is beyond the physical. I am not

going to get religious on you. Instead I will speak from my heart.

There is one thing I am very clear and sure of. Love is what creates

life. Our birth is due to the love our parents shared and the result was

us. Our Children are the result of the love we share with our spouse.

The other thing I know is that Love dwells in the realm of the heart,

and in that place time has no meaning. The Love we experience as a child

from our parents hug is still as fresh and strong as long ago. The first

kiss you ever shared with your spouse is as strong and passionate now as

then. The Joy and hope you feel for your children when they came into

this world still burns as deep and strong as it always did.

The Realm of Heart and the love that is there knows no end, or any limit

of time. I can not say what lays beyond the physical for sure, but I can

say since Love is the creator of our physical life it does NOT end when

the physical ends. Love and ones heart continues on to a new horizon.

Michael I know you in my heart as one that seeks for true love and

offers to others the love he has found. You do not attempt to hold the

Joy and happiness to yourself but rather you try and share it to all you

meet. No change of your physical body will ever change that, or my

relationship to you.

The most sincere and honest blessing I can offer you is one that you

find true love and joy where ever life may take you or any journey you

may embark on. Rest assured that my love and that of many others will

always be with you forever in the Realm of the Heart we have shared

together.

With a Loving Heart
