THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for those of you that came out into the parking lot at St.Michaels today at the close of my husbands funeral. Although I did shed a few tears during the funeral mass, I mostly felt the strength of God with me . It was unlike anything I have ever experienced.
But when I came outside and saw so MANY of you in the parking lot with signs ,my heart literally burst from the amount of love I felt from all of you. I cannot put into words how truly loved I felt. Really ! I just wanted to run to all of you and hug each of you and all those dancers who I am already missing by being at home ! My husband had to be doing his own crazy dance in heaven upon seeing all of you helping us by being there ! Such a beautiful memory that will FOREVER be ingrained in my memory.
At first I felt so robbed for my husband, and kids by not getting to have a visitation and funeral with ALL our friends and family. Then, I had to think of my husband. Such a humble, quiet man that this horrible circumstance may have created the simplest service for the simplest man.
With that said, our wish is that on Saturday, August 8 we have a memorial mass for Michael with EVERYONE who would've liked to have been at the visitation/ funeral mass. Followed by a huge celebration of life where we can all hug it out, talk and share fabulous memories.
God bless all of you, and my family and I are SO blessed by the outpouring of support and love from all of you. My heart broke on Saturday, and today I feel like it is mending. You all are INCREDIBLE friends.
"He did good deeds" ACTS 30
I love you,
