From Bishop Mary Gray-Reeves:
Dear friends and family,
My deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love, affection, prayer and blessing as our family moves the painful and shocking loss of our beloved Michael. He was a unique, powerful, intelligent, dynamic, funny, strong and dedicated light in the world. Our hearts are broken, and yet we know and rejoice that as we grieve, we do so in the grace and peace of Jesus Christ, who makes all things new. We are so thankful for our faith and for the community which now holds and bears this tragedy with us. A Celebration of the Risen Christ and Michael's life within it will be held at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 13601 Saratoga Ave. in Saratoga, CA. All are welcome. Finally, this photo was taken are Marinus, Bernardus Lodge, Carmel Valley, CA, on the occasion of our 30th wedding anniversary, December 18, 2012.
