We will be there! Love you Michael!
I so wish I could attend, but I must be near home
here in Mexico for further treatment.
Gayle will always be a hero for me and I will keep
her writings close to me,
Michael, bless you, I hope you are doing well and
are able to cope with this terrible loss. Perhaps
we shall meet someday.
Meanwhile,I send love and many blessings for you.
Paula
Thank you so much for the invite but I live in NY and will not be able to attend.
Gayle was an amazing woman!!
She was truly an inspiration to me.
Mike, or Dewan as I knew you at Red Bluff High all those years ago.
I am so sorry to hear of your lose. I know that Gayle fought the good fight for a long time. I have no doubt she is in a better place that she deserves.
Sincerely Carroll
Sorry for your loss. May God be with you.
I’ll be there.
Mike, although i won”t be attending, my heart will be with you and all those remembering and celebrating Gayle’s lfe.
I’ve had 4 pages left to read of The Imperfect Life for months, it sits on my night stand just waiting. If I don’t finish it will always be there, waiting.I don’t think I’ll ever read those 4 pages.
Your service for Gayle, a unique and special lady, will be held on the birthday, May 30, of another special, almost saintly man: Farrell Damian Madden. Farrell was my father and one of Dewan Michael’s favorite uncles. Dewan’s father died young. He too was a wonderful man. I think my dad stepped up to the plate to try to fill that void. My father died young too by today’s standards. Which leads me to the following: We have a dear friend, Squire Rushnell, a show biz kind of guy, who has sought out to prove that in life there are no coincidences. SQ calls those “happenings” Godwinks….a little secret you share with God or he shares with you” that give some added meaning and understanding to the journey called life. So, I would like to think that perhaps Farrell and Gayle’s paths crossing on May 30 is more than a coincidence…let your imagination go wild. Wish we could join you in California, but luckily got to know Gayle when she was our houseguest on Marthas Vineyard. May I propose a toast?
