Inconsolable

Our prayers are with you and your family at this diffucult time. May you find comfort in the Father's arms.

I am so very sorry about your loss. Brenda sounded like an amazing woman! I am standing with you in prayer, that God would grant you much peace and grace through this very difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your loss... Michael.We've witnessed what you've been dealing with, and know that our sympathies and prayers are with you. She obviously fought hard, and now is in a place without pain-- in the arms of her Heavenly Father.tw

Michael,I am so sorry and my heart breaks with you and for you. There are no words except to say that I care. Your journey has been life changing, your faith inspiring. May God surround you, carry you, hold you and supernaturally sustain you. God Bless you precious one.Lea Minton

I feel for your loss... My prayers are with you through this valley in your life.

I am so sorry. I was hoping that God would do a miracle. I wish I was close enough to attend on Saturday. I will be with you in spirit.

Our prayers are with you and your family. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and comfort you.Apostle Connie Lackey

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

Dear Michael, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. You both fought the battle bravely. May God hold you tightly in His loving arms and give you the comfort, strength, and peace that only He can provide.

Michael,Thank you for sharing your love and intimacy you have for Brenda and your Lord.I extend to you my tears and sorrow over your loss of her life, but celebrate with you in her Graduation to be with the Lord. May God comfort you and your family during this difficult time. Jim White

Michael:Have walked with you in prayer. Heart is broken for you. Your story is not finished.

Man. Sorry bro.

My deepest sympathies are with you! I have been reading your posts for over a year now and have never been more stunned to learn that your wife was sick as 2009 was ending.Your transparency and courage has blessed so many as well as the Heart of God.I pray that your heart will be able to receive the comfort of Holy Spirit as you ask unanswered questions and as you continue to trust Him who is Faithful. Many Blessings, Robin Fields

When I saw her picture, I saw the face of an Angel. You are a wonderful husband. Michael, I am so sorry and I can't imagine what you are going through. One of our physician clients, lost his wife last month to ovarian cancer in less than three months. I thought of you today, when he came by our office to file her death claim. He was also inconsolable. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Brenda is now a beautiful Angel in Heaven.

Definitely not what we had hoped for, but despite this outcome, God is still good and faithful! His ways are perfect, even though we may not agree with them. Praise God that Brenda is now in a much better place! And God has been, and will continue to be, glorified through your faithfulness! My heart goes out to you Michael and family, and may God's peace and His love keep you at this time. Keeping you in my prayers.

MichaelI am so sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing with this group your heart for your wife as well as your love for our Lord. If you have been praying for Brenda to be healed, your prayers have been answered...The Lord has her in his arms now. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. May God's peace and comfort surround you in these difficult day ahead......Blessings to youTim

MichaelAgain, I'm speechless. And stunned. And still in awe of your faith. And still praying for peace over you, as I have been the whole time as you've taken us on this incredible journey with you. Thank you so much.

I pray for your comfort and understanding in your time of loss. Thank you for your transparency, authenticity, and demonstration of faith. I have been inspired watching you as I am also going through a difficult season. Your witness has given me courage to press on. My heart is heavy for you and I am praying and mourning with you.May God grant you peace in this hour .

I am so sorry! Take heart my brother she's just ahead of you; waiting to greet you when you get there! Praise God Brenda is now free of pain. God will get you through this. My prayers are with you and your family.

Michael, I am so very sorry to hear this. I have been following your blog posts. Both you and Brenda have been a great witness, strong, and inspiring. She fought the good fight until her last breathe and her next moment will be with Christ in glory. Your believing of and faithfulness to God and His Word has been a dynamic witness. May God strengthen and comfort you with all His strength and comfort.

I am so very sorry to hear about your precious wife going home to be with the Lord earlier than we had hoped. I speak peace into your heart, mind, body and soul. I speak rest in Jesus name and healing and restoration in your heart.

Michael, No one can adequately console you except the Lord. I do know the nature your pain...I lost my wife of 25 years at the end of 1998, but nonetheless, no one can enter into your particular pain. When you are ready, I can recommend a couple of books that have meant a lot to me in that area, but I will not offer them without your permission. Our blessings, and prayers are with you...Ken

Michael, After losing a loved one, this was written. I want to share it. Words are not enough, but we love you and love Brenda, SOMEWHAT OF A SURPRISE AND MYSTERY, AFTER ALL THE FIGHT TO LIVE. I FEEL THE PAIN AS I WRITE: THERE IS A ROOM WHERE WE MUST PUT MANY OF OUR BURDENS, EVENTS AND RELATIONSHIPS. IT IS CALLED THE ROOM OF MYSTERY AND MAJESTY. THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN IT'S OK TO VISIT THAT ROOM AND WEEP AGAIN AND BATHE IN THE MYSTERY AND BOW TO THE MAJESTY. WITH EACH VISIT TO THE ROOM THE PAIN WILL BE LESS, THE UNDERSTANDING MORE, BUT THE MYSTERY WILL STILL SHROUD THE ROOM AND WE WILL SAY, "GREAT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS!" JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!

Wow, Michael. Not the news I was expecting. None of us can say or do anything to console you at this time, but know that Cathy and I are so sorry for your loss. I am filled with grief and sorrow for you. I've not yet met anyone who can explain the "whys" adequately. Your walk down this difficult road has been nothing short of inspiring and encouraging for us, and all of our friends, to whom I've been forwarding all your messages. I pray the the Comforter envelope you in our Fathers arms of love.

Inconsolable along side you, Michael.So many unanswered questions.Please know you are loved.....as impotent as that sounds.

Spent many days and nights in prayer and fasting with my wife about Brenda. Still shocked.Will still continue to pray with the same fervency, but this time for you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray for peace and healing for you all......

Lord be with you. You are blessed to have had the time together and to have been unified. When she blinked that she had faith she would be healed, maybe she knew more than we did as her healing is now perfect. He has given you an amazing testimony of his faithfulness. The outcome certainly does not match up with what we had hoped. But, He knows more than we do and how He will use you and this.

You both have been an encouragement to many of us. I'm sure Brenda is loving it in heaven right now, no more pain and suffering and dealing with this sinful world!!!!What a celebration it shalll be....when one day soon we not only see our Lord who loves us soooo very much, but those who have gone on before us and are awaiting :0) My wife and I have been praying for you and Brenda that his will be done. no one knows quite the purpose yet, but one day all will make sense. May Christ continue to be glorified, and give you peace and rest in him my brother. Love to you and the Church from upstate NY. Christ's Blessings, Kathie

Michael, Thank you for sharing this moment of your life. Words are inadequate, the Word of God does prevail. Your demonstration of courage and faith in the face of this tragedy is humbling and glorifies God.William

Michael, I have not words that can express my sorry and grief for you. I do not know the pain you are in but I will continue to pray God heals...you...at this time of sorrow.

I am truly sorry for your loss.Brenda will live on in our hearts!I am asking God to send you peace in this difficult time.Much love to you in Christ's name my dear brother,

God is in control.God bless you always, Michael.Jose

I've read thru all your email, felt the strength of your faith, the love for your wife and family and the inspiration you provided to all that may be going thru or have gone thru similar situations. Losing a loved one is by no means anything we want to go thru, yet God has a plan and it's perfect. Continue believing and may your faith grow as you unfold each day going forward. May God bless you and your family.

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from once comes my help? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth"Peace be to you.

thank god for the time you had together, may the comfortor the holy spirit be with you always

I agree with so many of the sentiments sent before me, the verses, the story not finished, the increase in my faith through yours and Brenda's throughout this time. My heart breaking for yours that words escape me but prayers are on bended knees and will continue for you and your family. Tears of sorrow for you, tears of joy as I see the host of angels rejoicing at Brenda's arrival. The sense of God's love for you right now at this moment so strong that I do not want to move from this place so that it might wash over you like a river, dear friend of God's!

I'm moved by your loss. I so appreciate your heart, love and devotion. You are a hero to me, and I thank God that I've been able to walk with you through this journey.You are loved!!!Patrick

Michael, I have prayed, claimed, and believed with you during this difficult period. I never ask the WHY question anymore, because my mind cannot comprehend all of God. I now can rejoice for Brenda and see the depth of your loss. May God's grace comfort you in this impossibly hard time. Thankfully Heaven is the destination for all true believers and this life is only a brief interlude in eternity that we will spend with Christ. Thank you for your open heart and willingness to voice your deepest feelings and awesome faith. Blessings, Tom

These words are a comfort and a challenge to me ... "There are questions in my heart, but no accusations on my lips.God is faithful and true… He is just and kind. He loves like a hurricane… I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy."Thank you for allowing us to drink from the cup God has given you to drink form. Eternity only knows the lives and generations that have been impacted by your walk of grace these many months.The celebration of prayer and fasting that began for Brenda a few nights ago ushered her from glory to glory. I want to shout it now, "THANKS FOR NOT THROWING IN THE TOWEL!" May God bless your perseverance! May His love be your constant companion. May His joy be your strength for the next leg of your faith walk.

We are saddend to hear of your loss and are praying for you and your family!

Dear Michael, Both my husband and I continue to lift you in prayer. We sorrow greatly with you during this time of separation from the "half that made you whole". God IS faithful and He does not change. We ask Him for continued strength for you, that you will be able to rest confidently in His arms. It is only for a time until we see them all again, in Gods shining glory. Thank you so very much for all that you have done! Not only for Brenda, but for all of your followers as well. To share the commitment and true love and devotion that is right between husband and wife... well, it should speak to thousands. Thank you.

Michael,Years ago, Dave and I sang this song in a choir. May the TRUTH of these words bring you comfort from the Throne Room, as God Himself has welcomed Brenda home. Open our eyes…oh loving and compassionate JesusThat we may behold TheeWalking beside us in our sorrow.Thou hast made death glorious and triumphantFor through its portals we enter into the presence of the living God.With our love and prayers,Dave and Pat Balldridge

We are sorry for your lost. Our prayers go out to you and your family. May you continue to find strength in the grace of the Lord.

MICHAEL, I AM SO SORRY ALTHO I AM NOT THERE YOU FEEL LIKE FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU ALONG THE WAY AND MY FAMILY HAS PRAYED WITH ME FOR YOU, I HOLD YOU UP IN PRAYER AND ASK PAPA TO WRAP HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND YOU FEEL THE WARMTH OF HIS EMBRACE. I LOVE YOU, LAURIE

I am grieved. I was sure this would turn out so differently. I am amazed and have been taught so much through the way the two of you and your spiritual family fought this battle. I believe you have honored the Lord and expressed great faith the whole way through. Even now, you are still honoring the Lord and expressing great faith. May the Lord pour out supernatural comfort and grace on you.

We are so very sorry. Our hearts and prayers go out to you. We will continue to lift you up and prayer. The Graffius Family

My prayers are with you at this time, I pray for God to wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you! Brenda is home I know, I am saddened and take comfort only in that she is home!Patricia

Dear Michael: There are not enough words in our world to describe your loss and how this affects those of us who have walked with you during this part of your journey. Nevertheless, as one who has lost, I would share your grief with you in order for it to not be too great. I believe that it is in the sharing of things of this nature that allows us to make it past the great pain. Therefore, please know that we are all sharing in your grief but at the same time praying for an abundance of peace and mercy to be your covering. Much love -svc

We are so sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in our prayers. I was impressed with her determination to praise God until the end. We lost my sister-in-law to cancer one year ago today, so we feel your pain and understand your loss.Our prayer and thoughts are with you.Janice

I am so sorry to hear of what you are going thru. I will be looking for your reflections on God's plan for your life for the future after your sense of grief is moderated. Covet every tear - one day they will be less easy to come by.Thank you so very much for all your Godly teaching.

I am sad for you Although its not what we all had been praying for she now has her healing in Heaven. We can't always understand why people don't recieve their healing here on this earth. My daughter went home to be with the Lord when she was 15 years old because of an auto accident. I had faith in God and His word then as I do now. It does not change the word of God. However I know somewhat how you are feeling so now my prayers will change over to you that he will strengthen you and that you won't be overcome by your grief. We love you.

I am so sorry to hear that you no longer have Brenda with you. My own husband of 35 years slipped to the other side of the veil Oct. 15th so I have some concept of what you are feeling. I wanted to share with you some of the things that have helped me. PS 46:1...God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.When my husband was hospitalized, God didn't tell me whether or not he would recover, He just told me to lean on Him as my refuge and strength. I can testify that His strength will sustain you. There is one thing that God did tell me that I believe also applies to Brenda. God told me that, "Paul belongs to me. He is my servant and only I have the right to say when his walk is over." Because God told me that, I have no second thoughts that maybe we should have done something else, etc. Michael, I can tell you from experience that you have a choice. You can walk through grief as the world and the church experience it, or you can hide yourself in God, your refuge, and while you still miss Brenda, you won't experience the dark clouds of depression and loss that most people do. Every time I see those clouds of darkness gathering against me, I run to Him and find that they have to go. There is no darkness in our God. In fact, He has given me Joy instead of mourning and most of the people around me do not understand it. I pray that you will find it as well.I'm standing with you in this difficult time,Glenna

In this very difficult time Bro. Michael, my prayer is with you. Like you, there are questions in my heart and buckets of tears in my eyes but DARE I QUESTION the all -wise God?You did fight gallantly and I do know that Brenda is happy and at peace with her make presently. There are also no right words to say in this present situation but I will like you to know that His Grace is Sufficient for YOU!Sweet Dreams Daughter of Destiny - Breda Pink

My heart breaks for you. After yesterday, I was so very hopeful, and this must feel unbearable. Like the woman above states, your transparency is what kept me reading, to watch your dependance on the Father is so encouraging. May God mightliy bless you in the days to come.. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Michael: I am so sorry for loss. Through everything your deep love for Brenda has been inspirational and amazing. She was an amazing woman of faith and courage. May God be with you and your family at this time.

Our prayers are with you and your family. I believe God already has a plan in place to use your loss for His Glory and many will be touched. I pray you find great comfort in His arms as He so lovingly carries you through this season.

My the comforting present of the holy spirit strengthen you and your family during this challenging time. God bless you.Glory

My the comforting present of the holy spirit strengthen you and your family during this challenging time. God bless you.Glory

My prayers are with you. A young couple in my church, the husband with cancer of the esophogus, stomach and lymph nodes, have been encouraged by your great faith and that of your precious wife. I pray that Father will hold you in His arms and that His peace might wash away all sorrow from your heart. She is waiting for you on the other side - you surely will see her again in glory!

Sorry to hear of your loss! I know God will be with you every step of the way!

I am sorry. I pray for peace and the comfort of the Holy Spirit to be with you and your family during this difficult time. Father wrap your arms around them with your love. I am sorry for your loss but thankful that Brenda is in your future for eternity. God bless you.

I can't even imagine what it must feel like to lose the love of your life...I prayed for you both as you shared with eveyone and had hoped for a different outcome but it seems Brenda has received the ultimate healing. Your faith has been very inspiring as you faced this head on and shared it so openly, I think the Father would be very proud of you Michael. Stay strong my friend...God is our refuge and strenght, an ever present help in times of trouble.John

Oh, Michael, dear Michael,We are all so grateful that you were willing to let us walk with you during this time. Please do not let the waves of grief swallpw you up but instead continue to pour out your soulto all of us. We are here and we are listening, grieving and moourning with you. All of us know that one day we will walk this road in some manner and it has been life changing to witness your transparency

Michael, I love you and am praying for you and your family.Peace to you my brother.In Christ

Amazing. I am in awe of you Michael, as you fought the fight, standing with God, trusting Him only and bending to His will. May His love comfort you and sustain you in the days to come. To God be the glory great things He has done through Brenda and through you.

We hold you, your family and friends closely in our hearts. You have impacted us so deeply and with great appreciation we are grateful for your transparency. Seven years ago when we walked through this with a 9 year old from our church...he impacted us the same way you and your wife have. His call and promise to touch many for the Lord was achieved in the way he handled his cancer. Gods promise to use him in a great way was accomplished even in his homegoing, just as Brenda's promise has been. Thank you for not giving up but in your heart's submission to the Father, His promises were fulfilled.

One thing I want to add goes counter to what many here are saying. Many think it is sacrilege to question the Lord, but I don't believe that is scriptural. David poured his heart out and questioned like crazy "Where are you, God?" "Why, Lord, why?" .... please do not let people tell you it is wrong to question Him. We are human after all. XOXO

Deepest sympathies, Micheal. our prayers are with you.

I was out to dinner with some friends, and one began to talk of Elisha's last miracle that happened after he had left this life. Before he died, I believe he was one short of the double portion he wanted when he got the mantle from Elijah . Even when he was dead, his bones caused a dead man to come back alive. In faith, I believe that your lovely wife's contending faith and life will change the lives of many people. I feel privileged to have been able to hear about your story and faith. I think I will always remember the fighting in the ring story. It will help me hold on one day. I am so sorry for the loss of the one you loved so dear.

I am so sorry about this. Today as I sat in the car waiting for my son the Lord brought you into mind. I started thinikng of what is Happening in Haiti and how some would question and I hoped you would find courage throught what your wife was going through. This was arounbd 4.40 P.M. I Am sorry but just klow that the Lord has put your grief in many that we may share your pain.

I'm so sorry Michael...I'm stunned...sniff..sniff

My heart felt sadness as you have had to say good bye for now. We have lost several family members in the last couple of years. It doesn't get any easier. Each life is special to the very end. Yet there is a newness of life in heaven. May God's presence soak you through and through.

If words could erase the loss you bear, I would write endless volumes. Though you cannot see past today, we pray that God will sit with you in silent strength until you cannot avoid the awesome recognition that, yes, even how, He is there.

Father God, I know in Your eyes they are still ONE...BUT only YOU can make it so for them.Please give Micheal and family all the Grace needed for each day to come, Praise the Lord!I am so sorry

I'm praying for you.

My prayers and tears are with you...~R

Michael, I am so proud of how you and Brenda handled this whole situation. The two of you brought all the Glory to God and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your faith will be rewarded. I know you have gone through a lot of naysayers, but your Lord guided each of you and she is safely in His arms now. One day you can join her there and share the stories. Praise God from whom all things come and go. Rejoice in your sorrow. Onward my brother.

I've been following Brenda's progress for quite a while now. She put up a courageous fight and I can only marvel at the tenacity she displayed. Through her ordeal (and yours, Michael), Brenda brought hundreds, if not thousands, of people together in prayer. That's has been the silver lining.I take comfort from the fact that Brenda is now with our Lord, Jesus Christ.I shall continue to pray that you have the strength to endure, Michael. God bless.

There are no words. Praying for you and your family.

Michael, my prayers are with you as you go through the grief process. I pray that you will have strength to go through the next few days and that this will be a season where the Lord will open new doors for you. I pray that the memories will sustain you. You have fought the good fight of faith, you have come out stronger and this has made you into a warrior. Peace my dear brother. Blessings in the name of Jesus.

Michael,I am so sorry. Our prayers are with you. We have been praying all along and we will continue to pray. There are no words to describe our sorrow and compassion towards you and your family. Please continue to keep us posted regarding your well being. Brenda is a wonderful woman and we look forward to being with her again in heaven. Blessings, George and Crystal

MikeMy heart shares your pain. I have an arm around you to help hold you up during this. I cannot imagine the weight on your shoulders right now however I do know God is stronger than all burdens and he is there with you too.

Well keep you and your family in prayer. I know what it's like to lose someone close and you will miss her but knowing that you shall see each other again. Cheryl Allmond

Michael: I just wanted to take a minute to express my deepest sympathies regarding your loss. I have been reading your daily messages for some time and have always found great direction and uplift in them. Of late I have been reading of the challenges you have been having with brenda and my hope is that God will grant you extreme comfort and and the strength necessary to deal with your loss. It is never easy to lose someone you love, and I hope as each day passes you will be able to dwell on all the great memories and less on the loss that you are feeling... - Eric Harned

Dear Michael,Pls. don't be inconsolable, but let the God of all comfort, comfort you in this your most dire time of need of Him. You and Brenda fought a good fight, you did not tap out, but Our Heavenly Father has seen fit to call her home and even though at this moment you are grieving, please take comfort in the assurance that the LORD is collecting all of your tears. Read Ps. 84 - You will, with the help of the Holy Spirit come through the Valley of Bacca - The Valley of Tears. Just thnk of Brenda dancing around the throne of God, and laying her crown at His feet as He ushers her into her rest.My prayers are with you and your families that God will take you from strength to strength in Him in the days to come.Cheryl

Dear Micheal,I'm groping for answers. I feel blindsided. My heart breaks for you. Words cannot express my heart but I will keep praying. I know that His profound love is wrapping itself around you and we will have answers, you will have comfort, and He will fill the gaps Brenda has left in your life, and the world.Love,Tamara Kuchera

Dear Michael, I can only express my heartfelt sorrow. This seems not true, not real, and yet I cannot escape the thought that Brenda has preceeded you into the greatest experience any human being can live: meeting Jesus in His glory... Which words can amend your pain tonight? None certainly... The cost of love in such moment is beyond comprehension. Both Brenda and yourself can however be proud of your fierce determination to believe with incorruptable faith until the end. May you be clothed in God's protective love tonight and sheltered with undescribable grace. As for me, you and Brenda are winners! It is in different terms than both of you hoped and fought for. Yet Michael and Brenda Pink are absolute winners of a struggle which meaning would escape many minds: unconditional perseverance... With admiration, sadness and love... Edrick

Bro. Michael, I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. As many has said, Thank you so much for your transparency, and determination to fight for your precious wife. I believe that your fight for her was not in vain. My prayers are with you and your family, and know that God is the God of all comfort. God bless you.Louise Fann

There are no words. My body hurts, my heart aches. My mind, will,

Dear Michael, Praise God. Someday we will all be together. I hurt with you and grieve with you. May God contuniue to hold you and all your family (even us) close to his heart. YBIC, Joe Myers

There are no words. My body hurts, my heart aches. My mind, will, and emotions scream out questions...and yet our spirit understands and rejoices with the truth.

Thank you Michael for your warring in the heavens against this insidious disease. Although you have temporarily lost "the light of your life," your battle has not been in vain and your loss is not permanent. There will be others who live because of who you have been and the fierce stand that you (and Brenda) have taken in the midst of this battle. Your account of her taking communion was both heart wrenching and inspiring. One week ago this evening, 14 men by a fire in a small cabin in the woods of PA took communion together with new appreciation for the power of it after reading your account. Your opportunity to inflict damage upon the kingdom of darkness has actually just increased based on who you are and what you declare about our God in the days ahead. May the Father's heart of love envelope you in this time of pain and grief. My prayers are with you.

Oh so very, very sorry. May every precious moment of your wonderful cherished love together on earth, give you the stength and hope to hold on, for your soon to be reunion with Christ and Brenda in the air.

Brenda will dwell in God's house forever (Ps.23:6), precious in the sight of the Lord is Brenda, his saint. (Ps.116:15).We who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words (1 Thes 4:16-18).One day this life of suffering will be over and all will be made new, ...He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. (Rev 21:1-4).

There are no words.... Father knows the depth of your grief. Yet this day is so different for Him than for us this side of heaven. Precious, precious, precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saint Brenda. This is a precious day to God because of Brenda but also precious to Him are your tears. God will be with you, Michael, to carry you through. We love you.

Michael,I hurt with and for you. I cannot imagine what you are going through at this moment, but I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty in sharing your pain with your friends and ministry acquaintances.While it may be very difficult for you to understand why this has happened to you at this point in your life, God's Word promises us that all things work together for good - even something as difficult and as incomprehensible as the passing away of your wife, friend, and life partner.My heart goes out to you and my prayer is that the Lord will comfort you and that His presence will bring healing to your spirit and soul.Shalom,John Loewen

Dear Michael , Thank you for posting that beautiful picture of you and Brenda, you both look very happy and in love. It is comforting to me to think how much more beautiful and at peace Brenda is now in the presence of our Lord. I imagine His light reflecting off of your beautiful bride's face and she smiles.Your sister in Christ, Adriana

My prayers are with you and yours. Your faith will guide you, The scriptures will point you , and your God will hold you. In Jesus name amen.

Michael, I'm so sorry for your loss. You are so good with words Michael, but at times like this I am not. Words are just so inadequate right now. But we love you and will be praying for you to lift you up through it all. I've experienced God's grace and His carrying power and I know He will be there for you even though it will be tough. I can't imagine it will be long before we are all together again anyway! Forever!

So many weep with you - but, not as the world weeps. Thank you for the indescribable gift of sharing this journey - the faith, strength, courage andutter dependency upon God demonstrated by you and your beloved has changed the world. He has been lifted up and glorified. Praying and trusting that our Holy Comforter will gather you close and carry you in this hour.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your heart with us. You have shown us how to trust God through the pain and sorrow. Thank you for your transparency and your courage. Brenda was an amazing woman. Praying God's comfort for you and your family.

Hugzzz

Michael,I pray you will rest in God's loving hands until he gives you the strength to rise.

Dear Michael - You have been an unmovable oak of faith to us all, and we here in Montreal are saddened with you and grieve with you. Thank you for being such a great exampe to us.

Words are nearly insufficient to express regrets over your loss. Yet, You both were a steadfast shining example of love and determined faith. Your influence Michael will spread and our King will receive great glory.

Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. What a powerful witness and testimony you and Brenda have been to us all. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. May you experience our God as the God of ALL comfort, like never before during this time. God Bless and Keep you!

May the shepherd of Psalm 23 be your strength and your comfort.

Michael, my prayers and thoughts have been with you through this ordeal and you have my deepest sympathy. I know exactly what you are experiencing. On April 25, 2009, my dear husband of 44 years fell off the roof during a storm. He suffered brain trauma. For almost 5 months, we struggled from day to day and hundreds of people were praying. I was so sure that God would restore him. Many unsaved people were reading the CarePages and watching with great interest as to how "these Christians" were handling this. As with you and Brenda, God had other plans and Harry went home to be with the Lord on August 7, 2009. The pain is so intense but He is always there at every turn. I also have questions of why. However, His ways are not our ways as the Scripture reminds us. Our testimony has to be, "I have trusted Him in the past, I will trust Him now; I have served Him in the past, I will serve Him now." When the pain is the worst, I have resolved to focus on giving thanks to the Lord for the wonderful 44 years of memories that He granted me. It helps!I am not sure how long I have been receiving your e-mails or when I started buying your CD's. They have been such an encouragement and provided growth for Harry and I. You have such an amazing ability to express yourself. I know that in your pain you will be a greater testimony. My tears, my thoughts and my prayers will be with you in the days ahead.

Heaven just became an even better place, Michael. There is a party going on up there right now. The suffering is over and an Angel has come home. I cannot imagine how you're feeling right now, but just know that God loves you and is with you. You and Brenda have touched my life in more ways than you can imagine. Thanks for doing God's work and keeping it real. God Bless you Brother.

Michael, my proayers are with you. Your lovely bride has joined her Savior and you can now look forward to that glorious day when you join the two of them. Be strong for God has even greater plans for you and your life.

Dear Micheal....I am completely sick about this..... I will be praying for you...... Jesus is Lord......I am so sorry for your pain..........I really am speechless..... this hit me like a punch.....With Love..

Peace be with you, Michael ... and God Bless Brenda, and hold her ever so close.Robert C. Vogel

She's at the other side of the river now, Michael....our journey at this side of eternity continues with you while we long to have that sweet reunion with her and our loved ones in that not so distant future...where our tears will be wiped by His gentle and loving but nail-pierced hands. Thanks for the lessons you have shared with us....these are treasures!His peace and all good, Benjie/Mla, Phils.

Michael,Please accept my deepest sympathies. It has been a touching experience to share your journey with Brenda. I also lost my husband of 10 years this past August. We never know the mind of God and our minds are not vast enough to know his ways, however I will be praying for your steadfastness, because I understand the pain of not understanding. But, God is truly faithful in all his ways! I pray your strength and ask that God keep you in the coming months. Remember that eventually the memory will be separate from the pain and you will again rejoice. God bless you,Vanessa

I am sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife. May God's peace be like a river for you as you walk through the night.

Bro. Michael,We send our love and prayers to you at this time of great loss. Thank you for allowing us to share with you in prayer and faith for Brenda to be made whole. We are so sorry and grieve with you. Bro. Michael, the love of Christ's conquers death and will help you and comfort you through this difficult time. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. What can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:35-39). God bless you and keep you in perfect peace and console your heart at this difficult time.We will continue to pray with you and for you.Love and Faithfulness,William and Monica Abernathy

I have no words...no cliches...shocked....speechless. My heart breaks for you in your pain and loss. I will be praying for you during this time.

I have no words...no cliches...shocked....speechless. My heart breaks for you in your pain and loss. I will be praying for you during this time.

I have been where you are. I have followed your accounts of Brenda's illness with many of the emotions feeling so fresh again. In February of this past year, my husband of 34 years "crossed the finish line" after his battle with cancer. He was only 54. I dreamed of far more years to share life than what we had. I still feel the void and the tears still come at times. However, God has given me a peace about it all even if I don't have an understanding of it all. I pray that for you. The loss and grief are so painful but God's "peace that passes all understanding" can carry you through. I just lean on Him and my family and friends that He has placed around me to keep walking. HE IS FAITHFUL!! May He comfort you and give you strength for the days to come. In Christian sympathy...CKW

Dear Michael, Yes, parting is tough for you. May the Holy Spirit come to comfort you and the peace of Christ garrison your mind and heart as your mind stops at God.Brenda is trully healed as she enter into glory, rejoice to hear the Lord says, "Welcome in, thou good and faithful servant!". She fought the fight of faith and won; not in the way we have desired for BUT in God's way.May the Lord comfort all who have fought hard and yet have to say "goodbye for now until we meet in the Father's House"Shalom!Irene

Oh Michael,I am so, so very sorry. I will continue to pray now for the Lord to comfort you in the grieving of your precious Brenda. Thank you for keeping us updated on this very personal battle. Brenda has been promoted to her true home. She fought the good fight, she kept the faith, she finished her race. And you were her stalwart defender and keeper. I say, “Well done!”

No adequate words can convey my thoughts right now and yet there is that resolve, that God is and always will be faithful to us. My prayers are with you and your family Bro. Michael. Sending love and intercession from Greensboro, NC.LaShawn W.

Michael,I am also at a loss for words.....Mary Ellen and I feel the loss along with you even though we have never met. Yes..."God is faithful and true… He is just and kind" as you have said. He said He will never leave you or forsake you .....you can depend on Him. "The Lord is your light and your salvation; whom shall you fear? The Lord is the strength of your life; of whom shall you be afraid?" (Ps 27:1). We are standing in faith with you. Thank you for your example of faithfulness and for being vulnerable with sharing your heart in your hour of need. It has rocked my faith to the core. May God keep you and make His face to shine upon you in the days ahead. Peter

Michael my prays are with you in this moment of agony

My heart goes out to you Michael. Wishing you comfort and strength in this most difficult season. Love always,

My family and I are standing for you in prayer. We are so very sorry for your loss. Don't forget that you too can climb up in Papa's arms. He will Never leave you nor forsake you.

My prayers and deepest sympathys go out to you. The things of this life are many times not understandable. I know that God is holding you at this time and He will be your all in all. I will continue to pray for God's richest peace and comfort to surround you. Your testimony in this time of trial has encouraged me, and at no time did you surrender your faith. God bless you Michael.

At a recent funeral of our young friend (61 years old is young!), the pastor said of our deceased friend, "his room is ready". God has been preparing Brenda's room and now it is ready. Praise Him all creatures here below!!

It is difficult to find words for a time like this. My heart aches for you and your family. May the God of all comfort take you in His arms as you grieve your loss and pain. May He hide you deep in His secret place and may you ever know that you are never alone. Will be praying for you and your family.

May God Comfort and strengthen you. Condolences

My dearest brother in the Lord...you have taught us all how to stand, be still and know our God. When my dad passed last September, 2008, the Lord specifically told me, or reminded me that He said he would prepare a place for us and where He is we will be also so. However, we know that this is the pause in life, and the end is the Glory of the death of Jesus on the Cross, for this is exactly why He came to overcome death, BECAUSE OF JESUS, WE ARE OVERCOMERS....!!! Please accept me deepest condolences. Jeannette

Our hearts hurt with you. At the same time we rejoice with Brenda that she is with our wonderful Lord and Saviour.

My prayers are with you but I am also thankful that HE took her to eternity and offer her a fantastic life until she sees you againMichael

I am so sorry for the pain you must be going through. I have prayed with you and battled with you. We don't understand on this side, as we see through the glass darkly, but thanks for your example of being real, but still trusting our Father. Prayers will continue for you in this time of grief. Your faith and LOVE for Brenda was and is a testimony to many and God will get much glory our of this pain that we feel here on earth, but Brenda is HAPPY and now a part of that great cloud of witnesses that is encouraging you on to complete your destiny. Strength and peace to you and you are remaining in my prayers. Love in Christ, Leisa Coburn

God is good and His mercy endureth forever.

I am sorry to read of your loss Michael. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry about your love leaving! This is a very difficult time but I know our God will carry you through the many days, weeks and months until you are strong enough to stand again. She prayed, you prayed, we prayed and trusted but she has gone to be with the one she loved so dearly. No more pain..... Find comfort in Him.

Now I know why I felt led to pray for you and Brenda this afternoon. My heart goes out to you - from our perspective, this was not the news we wanted to hear, but I do know God is in this and that He will be with you in the journey now ahead of you. May you find rest and comfort in Him.

I share your pain of your lost love. I lost my husband 12 years ago. He was deceived by the devil. I had many questions but I chose to keep silent and allow Him to take charge. He has been very faithful and He gave me peace that I had never experienced in my life. Now I am raising a great army who follow Jesus to do the greater works to foil the enemy at every turn. Have His Peace.Rev Jeanne LeeApostle-Prophet to the nations

So many questions ....my heart VERY sore for you and family. As you come to my mind I will continue to pray for you....Although the road is long and narrow you will experience JOY again you will SING again you will REJOICE again. As an OVERCOMER.the day will come when you can help others from a place of VICTORY.Jenny McMillanjOHANNESBURG

I am so sorry MIchael to hear of Brendas death.my prayers are with you.thank you for sharing so vunerably about what you have been going through.you are an amazing witness to others.I know God has helped you through so far and he will continue to do so.every blessing and praying you know gods comfort and peace.

"I am with you always" ..says the Lord .. Dear Michael I have travelled this journey with you via your website and felt your love and anguish for Brenda.She knew that your love ,committment and faith was unfailing but GOD does choose the best to be with him . Brenda is without pain and she is celebrating in heaven. I know that you will rejoice someday but know for now, that our thoughts and prayers are with you.Bashni Maistry- Durban South Africa

i cried when i read your mail... but i remembered the words of the song you quoted...We are His portion and He is our prize,Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,When I think about, the way…May God comfort you and your family at this time.

A million hugs in that hurricane love of the Father!!! linda

Michael, Upon reading the words of your post today, my heart broke for you and the tears came. Then a sense of joy for Brenda arose knowing she was with the other one whom she loved. Only with the Lord Jesus can we have the two feelings simultaneously. Pain for loss and joy for gain. God said Brenda would live and not die. He kept His Word for she surely lives, not only in Heaven with Him, but in our hearts as well, Michael, since you revealed her to us so well with your tender words of love. Thank you. It is an eternal tribute. May God keep you in the palm of His hand in the days ahead.

God bless you Michael.

Mr Brother, my coach.Upon reading this today, my heart was heavy and suddenly became light again.First my heart wept and later smiloed again.Borrowing the words of Rae, only with the Lord Jesus can we feel pain for loss and joy for gain simultaneously.Even as Brenda lives on in our hearts and with the one she loves and that loves all immeasurably, May God strengthen your heart, May His Holy Spirit comfort your family and ease the pain in your heart.And also, please don't be weary in well doing, for we have been constanly blessed by your blog, even in your pain.God bless you Sir.Hills DaveLondon, England.

Run into His arms Michael where you will find rest - I am sad with you and praying that you will find comfort in His Presence. God bless you.

Keep standing on the Word that you know the Lord has given you. He is nearer than your own heartbeat.

Words are really inadequate to describe how I feel for you. May you know God's love and comfort today and in the deep days to come. In the darkest moments know that underneath are the everlasting arms. I have so many questions but know that the most precoius of seeds sown will not remian a single seed but will produce many seeds.

I am so sorry Michael. I am in Mobile now taking care of my Dad who is diagnosed with cancer and given 2 months to live. I don't like any of it at all. He is only 73.........I know alot of people respect how you have handled this situation. I am one of them. Thank you for your testimony! You are a leader of great courage.You are a champion,you are a lover and warrior.Thank you!

My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.Ps. 131

Michael, I am so sorry for this huge loss and emptiness in your life, may God comfort you and hold you close to His heart and give you strenght. God take her up in His loving arms and she is at peace! May you find peace as well and grace in God love.You will be in my prayers!!

Dearest Michael, mighty warrior!You are a son ,a Prince,a king and a priest of God in Christ Jesus. The test is called tough love when Jesus may not act us we thought or prayed.It happened to me 5th August 2009 a son died 2 hrs after birth a child of promise i had waited for 11 years . Your faith and purpose is so great that the enemy asks for what you love best to break you.Loss is painful and helps us understand what it meant for Papa God to give His best. Do not give in because Jesus has your best life ever in the next season of your life,believe,grow strong in the midst and see what Jesus can do,i testify He is faithful and we will be met by this loved ones in Heaven if we overcome and we will because of the Eternal Holy Spirit in us.

Sorry to hear about the lost of your lovely wife. Take care ! My the good Lord continue to keep you under His Wings. Warmest regards/ Emily Foo (Singapore)

There are no words to express our condolences to you dear brother and family. May you find the deepest and most real comfort in the promises of Christ our resurrection and life and know that Brenda will be loved forever and missed by us all. We will all be praying for all of you and ask God's continued blessing upon you each and every day as we await the gathering of His household to the place He Himself has prepared for us where our sister now rests from this long and tedious journey, having fought a great fight and finished her course with faithfulness and hope.Love always in Jesus, Jimmy and Family of Faith

Dear Michael,Thinking of you sending our deepest sympathy and prayers as you come to terms with the loss of your precious Brenda. May you know God's comfort, care and strength at this time for He declares in His Word 'Precious in His sight is the death of His saints. Ps 116:15; 'All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.......' 2 Cor 1:3-5 New Living translation. Always remember that 'the Eternal God is your refuge and His everlasting arms are underneath you' Deut. 33:23 May you feel Him carry you and take you through this sad time. You have blessed so many as you have shared your heart as God has taken you through this deep valley. Believe and be strengthened by the timeless words of Psalm 23.Prayerfully, Barbara and Fred Hardie

Michael, My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family as you travel this path! Our God is faithful and just and never to be doubted! Brenda is receiving her just reward to be able to sit at the feet of our Lord! To be transported from this life to the promised life with Him is truely the desires of us all. Blessing and Peace!

Jehovah is Jehovah faithful and just our prayer is that Better is the end of a thing than the begning thereof. It is an end and a beging. Remain strong in Him the Lord shall givethee peace and to all of us .... the peace of God overtake our understanding .... it is well.Shalom shalom

I was listening to How He Loves Us on Youtube this morning and as those words were flowing from the song, I open my email and the very words you posted were what was being sung. Mike, I just wish to encourage you to keep your head up through what you're going through right now. You have fought a good fight of faith my brother. The Lord is with you to strengthen you and Light your path. My spymapthies are definetely with you in this time of prayer. Be strong in the Lord. Love in Christ Jesus.

I am indeed very sad. I have never met Brenda nor you, but it seems like I've known you the two of you for a long time. I prayed for her healing and each day checked my email for update on her condition. I will continue to pray for you. May you feel God's presence in your deep sorrow and be comforted by the fact that nothing can separate us from His love and that death is not the end for Christians. Jesus is coming soon and she will be resurrected. You'll be reunited with her and I will see her for the first time then. As the song goes, "when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be." I share in your sorrow and the blessed Hope.

MichaelI am deeply moved by your courage and faith and pray for you and your family

So sorry to hear your loss MIchael..But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

I am so sorry....

Humanly our hearts ache for you Mickael. But Brenda is safe in the arms of JESUS. We must rejoice in Father's decision even if we don't understand. May the precious Holy Spirit minister to you and wrap you in His arms of love. God Bless. Jane

Deart Michael: My heart is grieved for you. We all know Brenda is now with her King. May He who never slumbers or sleeps comfort you as only He can.

Michael, was thinking of you and Brenda yesterday, and this incredible peace descended, and I felt that somehow the battle was over and the Lord had brought her to glory. It was a feeling of triumph mixed with a quiet sense of relief that the battle was over, and the reward was waiting to be claimed. 'We do not grieve like those who have no hope'. Our prayers remain for you - as you enter the next valley, Jesus will carry you through.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences.Our joy,for those who love the Lord, is that separation from our loved ones is temporary and we will re-unite in the heavenly realms where we'll reside forever.Yes you are inconsolable for now but God's loving arms wrapped around you will sustain you now and forever.

Michael, you know that Stephanie and I, as well as Pastor and Sis. Lockett, and the entire Evangel Fellowship Church family will continue praying for you during this very tough moment in your life. We all feel the lost, but no one feels it like you do. But just know that for the saints of the most high God, the Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Brenda is present with the Lord now, and in the meantime, I pray the God gives you His peace that surpasses all understanding. We love you!! Be encouraged my brother!

You and Brenda both are amazing examples of what true and consistent faith in God is. I never met either of you, but I've been following the progress of Brenda since you both found out about it. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the way you've handled every agonizing step. I am 46 years old and newly saved (4 years now), and you have shown me what commitment and faith really means. May God give you a peace beyond all understanding in this difficult time

Michael,The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." My wife and I live in Lansing MI. We have been blessed by you and have been praying for you expecially in this time. We will continue to go before our Father on your behalf. I pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to carry you and be great comfort to you. You are a blessing to the body of Christ. God Bless,Michael Flory

Dear Michael,My deepest condolences. May God give us the Grace to believe His Word for our next battle. And He will. JJ

Michael,I have never posted here but have followed closely each of your post regarding your beautiful and faithful wife Brenda. My heart is heavy for you today as I lost my husband of 42 years in 2009 and I too was inconsolable. The pain was so intense it was like nothing I had ever experienced. I will lift you up in prayer daily as our God ministers His love, grace, and comfort to both your soul and your spirit. He is faithful and He will walk with you through this valley one step at a time, one day at a time. Don't get ahead of Him and don't linger behind Him. Let Him have His perfect work in you. This week was my one-year anniversary of my beloved husband's death and God has been and is all I need. I praise His holy name as He ministers to you too.Kay Huddleston

May Jehovah Shalom wrap His loving arms around you and carry you through this difficult time and give you new directions for your life. May His Peace be with you and I bind the spirit of grief that would try to take over you life. Jesus is coming soon and you will be reunited with Brenda but until then she is now in the grandstand of witnesses in heaven cheering you on. God's presence will be so sweet with you during this time. You will laugh again and God's anointing will open up new doors for you. My prayers are for you during this time. Your sister in Christ Valerie French

CHAMPIONS, CHAMPIONS, CHAMPIONS!!!You and Brenda have demonstrated EXCELLENCE in the presence of the Great King. With a crushed heart and tears blinding you, I pray you press forward with your torch of destiny held high, blazing a Kingdom advancing trail that has more motivation than ever to destroy the work of the enemy and accelerate His return and the reunion with your heart-of-a-lion princess.JESUS is LORD! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Michael }}}}}}}}}}}}}} <---Love holds you and is stronger than deathyour brother in arms...Lon

Please accept our sincerest condolences! Deeply sorry!!! May Brenda's soul rest in perfect peace! We pray that the God of all Peace - Jehovah Shalom - grant you all, His Perfect Peace, which surpasses all human understanding, which the world cannot give. May the Lord guide you continually, order your steps, showing you which way to go. May He satisfy your soul in drought (will, mind, emotions, intellect and imaginations). May He make fat your bones - give you a full life in the emptiest of places! We love you and keep you in prayers always!!! God bless you all! Amen!!!

Michael, I don't have the words to tell you how sorry I am. You'll continue to be in my prayers.

No words. Still waiting for eyes to see where our loving God is leading in His story of redeeming us...mystery....pain....exhaustion...your family fights nobly...Love.

My heart is bleeding with you. God is sovereign! God is love! God is good!

Dear Michael. I lost my son when he was 18 years old. I know the one thing that got me through those first few days was the prayers of my friends. I was in shock but still felt the presence of the Lord and those prayers. The Lord Jesus gave me comfort as I know He will comfort you. I believe that the true test of "Faith" is when you place a loved one in their grave and still say "Lord, I still believe in You and trust You with what has happened." Truly trust the Lord with what has happened and know that one day He will tell you "why". We will continue to pray for you.

Why does God take such beautiful people from us when it seems that they have so much to give to this dark place of a world? Lamenting and praising are noble sacrifices to our Father as well. It is good that HE knows the depth of your pain. What a marvelous fight you gave with your wife for the testimony of the bride of Christ!Your travailing was NOT wasted Michael. God will grant you the peace and the time to heal though the battle was long, there is great victory in the homegoing of our sister, Brenda. May the Lord grant you a vision of our dear sister in heaven waiting for the time when you will be promoted there with her and our beautiful Savior.Shalom peace to you Michael.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I prayed each day for Brenda, yourself and the lady that helped with Brenda. I am thinking of you and keeping you in prayers for strength and peace. I think of the song lyrics, "it is well with my soul" written by a man who endured similar pain in a time of loss yet though his heart was torn, his body bearing the weight of grief, he was able to say it is well with my soul. His faith in God was unshaken, unwavering. Bless you Michael. Bless you and may God's peace surround you and his healing touch your broken heart.

Michael, I'm so sorry for your lost. No amount of our words can comfort you. We know that Brenda is no longer in pain but is in the arms of Jesus! The Lord has big plans for you and you will pull through with God's and Brenda's love at your side. His love will strengthen you.

My heart goes out to you and your family Michael. I pray that in this hour of your need, that God will show Himself strong on your behalf. My deepest sympathy to you and I pray God's peace to you.Be Blessed.Michelle.

I am bowed by your loss, Michael. This tree is weeping. Brenda was just 46 days younger than my age. My wife and I read your post and all the comments. I so appreciate the sensitivity of most of the posters. We will continue praying. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for allowing Brenda her time on earth. Continue to comfort, gird and support Michael as only You can do as the Great Comfortor. Blessed be Your Name--even when the world is not as I think it should be. We love You. In Your Name we pray, Amen.

Dear Michael, I stand with all the prayer warriors here, in my extended sympathy for the loss of your beloved Brenda. You both fought the good fight of faith, and while she is already savoring the rewards with the Savior, you have much work to do for the Savior. Your position in all of this has been a beautiful example of how a husband should love a wife; most especially in sickness. Most men would turn tail and run. You were Christ to Brenda, not literally, but by example. YOU need to take this and turn it around for good, for the sake of those who will face the same situation in the future. Love; unconditional love. Thats what we have all witnessed here, and you must witness it to the unsaved, the hurting, the dying. Witness the unfailing faith of Brenda, yourself, and all those who partook in this sacrifice of love and faith. She is healed now, in the arms of Jesus.

I am sooooooo sad, but thankful that we can trust God in the hardest of times. God's ways are not our ways is truly a mystery but........we are an amazing people created in THEIR image. The God of our hope says He will never give us more then we can handle, I am continually amazed at how much we can handle, so I say "Thank you Holy Spirit." Micheal untold numbers of us have your back. Kathie 7:45am mountain time.

Michael, I am so sorry for your loss. The words spoken to you here are rich examples of what we too can know and think when and if we lose the light of our life. God's grace will have to be sufficient for each of us. Grace=Love Favor Kindness. We know He is all of that. We will be praying for you.

May the Lord strengthen you and surround you and your family with His comfort and peace, mighty warrior of God!

Grieved to hear of your loss and thankful for having the opportunity to know you both.Thomas

Michael:Reading your posts during this entire time with Brenda has been an amazing perspective on your love for each other. May God's peace and grace wash over you. Thank you for sharing.Gregg DeVitto

We were all believing for her, but God knows best. He will answer your questions in due time and I pray that you will be strengthened and comforted. ??? We don't always know why and I am so so sorry.All the best to you on your journey and stay strong xDeepest sympathy

Michael, I have been reading in silence but interceding for you and Brenda. My heart is boiling over. I felt your love and your faithfulness. You and Brenda's journey is now my family's inspiration. Your love will live on. May God reveal Himself to you like never before.

I am so sorry to hear that you've had to let your precious wife advance to heaven ahead of you. I know she is rooting for you now as you walk through this time and that Daddy God will sustain you. I'm praying for peace that passes understanding to comfort you and your family.Blessings,

WOW! is all I have to say!I have appreciated your words the last couple months.I have appreciated your Honesty the last couple months.I have appreciated your Truth the last couple months.I have appreciated your Openness the last couple months.I have appreciated your Faith the last couple months.I have appreciated your Boldness the last couple months.I have appreciated your Sharing the last couple months.And Now....I look forward to appreciating God's next Move with YOU!I heard a story once and it ended when the chess player came to realized that - Its not checkmate - The King still has ONE MORE MOVE!!!! And realizing that our King always has one more move when it may appear to be checkmate in any circumstance in our life!Tom Mitchell

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your daily emails have been wonderful to me over the years, I pray that you receive healing back from these emails.

Dear Michael, your life and Brenda's glorify the Lord and will continue to do till forever...she now does it along with the angels, you from God's earth...I praise God for the things He will do through you, to cotinue to lead us as you keep moving along the path of pilgrimage, among the wolves! We are right along you...God's divine strenght will maintain you! The best is yet to come...

There is nothing anyone can say that will fill the void - only resting in the Father' arms and in His love will see you through. Our hearts and prayers go out to you in this time of sorrow. Weep before the Lord, let him bottle up your tears. His heart breaks for you too.

Shalom Michael..I weep with you beloved..2 Corinthians 5: 1-8... For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. For most assuredly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven; if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked. For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit. Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; for we walk by faith, not by sight. We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.May Abba still, and comfort your soul, through the day, and dwell and keep you sheltered in His strong right arm of favor and loving assurance through the night seasons..and remember He always has a plan...you will find and know it...you are His treasure and His valued inheritance..He remains the anchor that holds firm in every raging storm.....He holds you, carries, and lift's you...We are all standing beside you beloved brother..May never a tear fall into an unknown river, but channeled before our compassionate Savior.shalom, shalom fill and cover you now as His own Tallit (prayer shawl, one uses to cover the head as an intimate place to commune with The Creator)...tina

There are no words to console you, only God can do that. I have read your e-mails the past months and have prayed for you both. My heart aches with yours. But just think what she is doing now, rejoicing with her King wishing you were there to enjoy it with her.Joan from PA

Michael, we are hurting with you. Praying that the comfort of the Holy Spirit reaches you in a tangible way. You're a valiant warrior!!!

Here is a poem that consoled me when my Mother died.If tears could build a stairway,and memories a lane,I would walk right up to Heavenand bring you back againNo farewell words were spokenNo time to day "Goodbye"You were gone before I knew it,and only God knows whyMy heart still aches with sadnessand secret tears still flowwhat it meant to love youno one can ever knowbut now I know you want me to mourn for you no moreto remember all the happy timeslife still has in storesince you'll never be forgottenI pledge to you todaya hollowed place within my heartis where you'll always stay!God bless you and your family during this trying time

Parable of Immortalityby Henry Van $%@#$ - 1852 - 1933I am standing by the seashore.A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breezeand starts for the blue ocean.She is an object of beauty and strength,and I stand and watchuntil at last she hangs like a speck of white cloudjust where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all.She is just as large in mast and hull and sparas she was when she left my sideand just as able to bear her load of living freightto the places of destination.Her diminished size is in me, not in her.And just at the moment when someone at my side says,'There she goes! ' ,there are other eyes watching her coming,and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :'Here she comes!'

Michael, I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you for pouring your heart out for Brenda and all of us everyday. What a blessing you are to me. You are among the few that I see in this world impacting so many in such a real way. With much love and peace, Kyle

All praise to our God and Father who always causes us to triumph. Thank you for letting us in to your life and your walk with Christ. I'll be praying for you and your family along with the many others. You have touch many lives and hearts , I share in your saddness and pray that you will feel the Arms of our loving Father as He holds You tightly during this very difficult time.Frances Drumgoole (Rochester NY)

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I prayed each day for Brenda, yourself and the lady that helped with Brenda. I am thinking of you and keeping you in prayers for strength and peace. I think of the song lyrics, "it is well with my soul" written by a man who endured similar pain in a time of loss yet though his heart was torn, his body bearing the weight of grief, he was able to say it is well with my soul. His faith in God was unshaken, unwavering. Bless you Michael. Bless you and may God's peace surround you and his healing touch your broken heart.

Michael....I wept when I read your words about your precious wife. She's graduated and is praising our Lord

Inconsolable - yes, we are also inconsolable. It is a good choice of words. Even as you are in the midst of your terrible grief, know that you have been an encouragement to many, including our leadership team as we have been experiencing a similar situation: not physical by spiritual, in our fellowship. Though we live a long way from you we feel very close. If we were together now we would do the only thing we could: we would hug you, cry with you, covering you in our tears and our prayers - together knowing the compassion and peace of our Jesus. Though you 'walk through the valley of the shadow of death', you do not walk alone. Jesus and His Body walks with you. (Peter Stewart, Edmonton, AB, Canada)

My heart goes out to you, my Prayers are with you. You are and were so faithful. God loves you.

Michael - words are insufficient. Amidst your challenges, you have shared so much with so many, so transparently and poetically - Thankyou. May God surround you in a way that surpasses understanding, a love so powerful, a comfort so profound - again to Him be the Glory

It's hard to give wishes for strength, courage and hope, you and Brenda, are and have been full of the these gifts. You truly have no reason for regret, only in being apart until one day you will reunite again. You are all so amazing. I am so sorry for your loss of such a strong and courageous woman, you were blessed to have her here with you.Thank you for sharing every part of this! May you find more strength and yet peace in your wonderful , treasured memories of all the days together. May God bless you always for your endless love and dedication to Brenda's life.

Dearest Michael, I was so privileged to get to know Brenda even if it was for a few days in Panama. She was sweetness personified. I will never forget her smile and kindness and sense of humor. I feel for you, I cry with you my dearest brother. I rejoice also with you. Soon we will ALL be with her in the presence of our KING.....Hallelujah!!! Marina

Michael, my prayers and deepest condolences go out to you right now. And even as you and Brenda have provided comfort to many around the world in your book Grace for Grief; may the GOD of all comfort, give you the comfort in this time of tribulation that would enable you to continue fulfilling your GOD given purpose for his glory and for your crown. Be blessed my brother

Brenda surely fought a good fight of faith and so did you! May the peace of God and His love continue to keep your heart and mind. Although I've never met you or Brenda, I still thank God for the both of you allowing so many believers share this season of Brenda's and your transition. I know she is and will be greatly missed, but NOW she's in the literal presence of her King and Savior and for that we MUST REJOICE WITH HER AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE!! I know there are going to be difficult days ahead of you, just know that there are so many of God's people that are continuing to pray for you and your family. WE LOVE YOU MICHEAL, STAY ENCOURAGED IN THE LORD, MY FRIEND!

Isaiah 57 1 The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. 2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. Continuig to pray for you and family. In Godly Sympathy, Delores Williams

Michael, May the Lord Bless

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Michael, the human part of me cries and weeps with you for the great loss of your wonderful, beautiful and loving wife. I cannot imagine how you must feel or what you are going through during these hours, but I do know that we serve a living, powerful, loving, amazing God who will provide for you exactly what you need until the day you are reunited with her forever in glory. You and Brenda have been such an awesome example of God's children, walking daily, minute by minute at times, feeling and expressing all of the feelings going on inside and crying out as David did so many times in the Psalms, yet in the end after the tears, crying, and emotions of sorrow, anger and stress, you always have come to the conclusion of trusting, obeying and praising our heavenly Father. I want to say "thank you" from the bottom of my heart for both of your example throughout the years and in your books, but most of all through these last months in this final trial of Brenda's health. The void you feel is so real and I hurt for you, but the hope that you have knowing she's in a wonderful, fabulous place....she's made it to where one day we're all looking forward to being, where there is no more fear, pain, suffering sorrow, crying or death. I know that her dying was not in vain. I know that through this God has shown in great and mighty ways through both your and her example during this time in your lives. We are confident that Brenda is now in heaven, a gorgeous angel of God watching and looking down upon you, smiling, and knowing one day you will be together again forever. We will continue praying for you during these days and ask our God to provide for you exactly what you need as only He knows, and we are confident He will. In His love and care, Jackie

Michael, Although I hadn't sent anything to you before now, I want you to know Brenda has been in our prayers and you will continue in my prayer. God is our strength. May the Holy Ghost comfort you and your family. Al Best

Dear Michael, Thank you so much for sharing your painful journey with us all. Your deep faith has encouraged us all. Even though the end result was not your desire, you know that you will be with Brenda again, and that now she is free from her pain/distress and limitationsand that God's Love is 'better than life." We will continue to pray for you as you move through the grief process. Thank you so much for sharing wth us your journey. It has blessed us all. Standing with you, Dottie Porter

Bro Michael, I love you.For being a excellent husband, a humble servant and transparent to the body of Christ, I salute you. Your openess has served as a catalyst for others to stand firm in the Lord.Thank God for the beautiful life of my sister, your rose BRENDA and the radiant glory revealed through you two as a couple. To Our Sister, Our Brother, True Warriors of the Most High God much love.For your sacrifices Michael, a great reward awaits you in Heaven, seeing Brenda again.Priscilla MitchellEvangel Fellowship Church,Greensboro NCPS you did the all of the right things, now rest, let Him carry you through.

Dearest Michael:Your Beloved Brenda was obviously as beatiful "outside" as she was "inside"....please accept our deepest sympathy, prayers, thoughts and all of His love and comfort to you at this time ...If your care for your wife was anything representative of the way you do business - from the heart and with all compassion and wisdom - then I've no doubt, that is what you were able to give to "the love of your life" - as God entrusted you to her for the destined time she was here with us. Her "imprint" will never be forgotten ...and neither will yours.In the Majestic Name Above All Names, Great Counselor and Consoler - Jesus Christ - our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and extended familiy,Jensine Bard

I am truely sorry for your loss. She is with our Lord and svior with no more pain. I will pray for the pain and sorrow of your family and loved ones. My heart cries for you. God Bless.

Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your battle with all of us so openly. You and Brenda have been an inspiration to many. As it helped me greatly after my parents died -- and I believe these words are what Brenda would say to you at this moment, I wanted to share the words of “If You Could See Me Now” by a group called “Truth”: Our prayers have all been answered; I’ve finally arrived. The healing that had been delayed Has now been realized. No one's in a hurry; There's no schedule to keep. We're all enjoying Jesus, Just sitting at HIS feet. If you could see me now I'm walking streets of gold. If you could see me now I'm standing tall and whole. If you could see me now you'd know I've seen His face. If you could see me now, you'd know the pain's erased. You wouldn't want me To ever leave this place If you could only see me now. My light and temporary trials Have worked out for my good. To know it brought Him glory When I misunderstood. Though we've had our sorrows They can never compare. What Jesus has in store for us No language can share. You wouldn't want me To ever leave this perfect place If you could only see me now. (Author:Truth). May God bless and comfort you, Michael!

My prayers are with you and your family at your loss of your life partner. But God is gracious and will give you the strength you need to get through this. Your wife is looking at the face of Christ and is totally healed.

I'm holding you and your family up in prayer daily. Sometimes by the hour. I know the pain must be unbearable, but you will make it. And we will continue to pray God's comfort upon you and your family.Anthony

I felt like I lost a great friend as well when I read your update. I spoke about Brenda everyday to someone it was as if she lived with me and my family. You have been such an amazing husband and friend to her and many. I have felt very sad today and overwhelmed with your loss. I will be lifting you up to our Lord for continued strength and rest for you in the days to come. I hope to make the celebration of her life on Saturday and maybe get to meet you face to face. Your witness to all of us has been so real and your story is still revealing in the days to come as God attends to your hurts and emptiness. He will comfort you in amazing ways I am sure. We all will be forever changed by your love for Brenda and the special care you gave to her during her battle. It is wonderful to see all the friends from all over the country you have made during this journey. The support you are receiving show so much of the tender care of our Lord. I will be praying for you daily as well. May God give you all you need in the days ahead. May you be forever blessed for your servanthood and faithfullness! We all love you in the name of Jesus! Our tears are with you as well!Lisa Hughes

Mike - words are unable to express what great sorrow we feel for you. The hope lies in the inexplicable glory of the re-uniting you both will one day experience.Love,Darrell

I wish I had something grand to say. However, I am encouraged by your response and integrity. I just read Job 3

Our deepest sympathies for you Michael. We are very sorry to hear Brenda passed away. Huge love, prayers, and hope for your future from Heidi and I.

Michael, like many others, I greive and cry with you now. May the heart of our loving Father comfort you during your "temporary" loss. We are not hopeless...we will be reunited in the not very distant future - forever.

My condolences, love, support and prayers go out to you Michael. Jesus Is still King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is still on the throne. My words cannot express my sorrow for your sorrow. Brenda is not lost, for we know that those who die in the Lord are yet with him!!! Will never forget meeting you and having you at your Selling Among Wolves Without Becoming One of the Pack conferences and contributing a column to my magazine.

Michael,I am sorry to hear about your loss. May the Lord give you a peace that surpasses all understanding. May the love of Christ comfort you in a special way during these hours.Ellis Hodges

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It is so hard to lose someone who you love and is your best friend. I pray that the Lord will surround you,comfort you and bring you peace in your time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to here of your loss of Brenda. My prayers are with you and your family.I pray that the God of peace would comfort you.

We stand beside you in your grief and celebration of Brenda's life-a life well lived! We pray that the Lord will be your peace and comfort and that the prayers of God's people will carry you through this difficult time.God Bless You, BrotherDon and Kakie Roberts

I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for you and your family as you gather to celebrate Brenda's "Promotion to Glory". It must be so comforting to know that she is no longer suffering and is now in God's presence. She lived her faith and obviously touched many lives. We often question God's timing, but as we process all that has taken place, God speaks to our hearts and lets us know that even with such a profound loss, God never leaves us. He is in control. He is our Good Shepherd. We are the sheep, not the other way around. He will continue to lead you through the dark valley. Thank you for sharing this time in your lives with the rest of us. Your love and active devotion towards your precious wife has been an inspiration to all of us. May God continue to minister to you, your family and your dear friends in a way that nobody else can.

Michael, May God comfort you as you go through this great loss. He is faithful God and He will see you through this.Belinda

Michael, I am so sorry for your loss. I saw this today and hope that this will be a blessing to you.The Lord Ever-Presentfrom the messages of Adrian Rogers BIBLE MEDITATION:1 John 4:4 - “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.”DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:The One who created the valley is there with you! He has prepared the way through the valley. It is not a place of permanence but a place of passage. He knows every twist and turn, every changing shadow, every den where danger lurks — that One is with you! Focus on the light and not the darkness. God has made you to walk through shadows. When the shadow approaches, you must walk through. The One greater than death is in you! He is your Jehovah Shamah — the Lord ever-present. His grace is greater. His peace is purer. His devotion is dearer. Where Satan casts a shadow, our Sovereign Lord reigns supreme.

Someone I know had a daunting life or death medical decision to make a few years ago. The Lord told me to meet with her and a few other women to pray for and minister to her the night before she had to give the doctors her decision. As I prayed for her, the Lord gave me a question to ask her, "WILL YOU TRUST ME, NO MATTER WHAT?" I spoke the question to her. She said nothing at first, but then, hesitantly nodded her head "yes".Afterwards, when we left the prayer room, she was still undecided and asked me what I would do. I said I would trust God with my child's life. She asked, "What if your child dies anyway?" I replied, "Then I would have the peace of knowing I left her life in the hands of God, not man."God entrusts us with the lives of others, but they really (ultimately) belong to Him.May His loving arms envelop you.

I am so sad for your loss. I lost my daughter Rhonda 12/25/2009 from cancer. All along I asked her if it was OK for me to believe that she was going to make it through this.. She always said yes. I always did. Mr Pink I already know you know this it's better to go through something like this with God rather then not with God. I ask God to help you and I know he will. God bless you Mr. Pink.

Michael, you and Brenda fought the good fight and you kept the faith! May the God of all comfort release to you the peace that cannot be understood. Brenda has won! She is victorious! She is home, safe and sound, in a city whose builder and maker is God. I pray that you will find comfort in that, and in those around you who will love you and stay close to you during this difficult time. Much love to you, my brother.

My life has been changed and I have been deeply moved by all you have shared. Thank you for your transparency. I am looking forward to an eternity of fellowship with you and Brenda in a land without sin and death. Phil 1:3. I'll also pray for you on every remembrance.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. You are a very brave soul. Your God is the only God.

May the Lord comfort you as you are seperated for a season before spending eternity together .

Michael, We are so very sorry for your loss! We know what an amazing woman Brenda was and will always be so grateful and thankful for the time that you both invested in our lives. We are praying for you!

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

I also thought you might like this letter from a minister is have enjoyed so much over the years. You also have been and are an inspiration to me. http://www.foundationofpraise.org/jan10/jan10.html God bless you in Jesus' name.

My heart aches at the news of your loss..... Your helpmate.... Your lover... Your friend..... Your bride was all of these to you, and you shared her blessings with all of us.We feel your loss, but not as deeply. We feel your pain, but not as gravely. We feel your sorrow, but not as completely, for these things are tragically and uniquely yours. Beyond the promises of tomorrow's hope and eternity's reunitement lies the reality of today's loneliness and longing. Do not discard the pain and sorrow, for deep within it lies the fruitful fields of beautiful memories and blessings that were her life. Share it. With loved ones. With family and friends. Most of all, never fear to cry out. Our God is large enough to shoulder our pain, and loving enough to hear our intelligible groans. And He is uniquely qualified to understand.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes, God is faithful and true, kind and gentle. May He surround you with His peace and give you grace and strength in this difficult season.

Dear Michael, I only want to tell you: I'm very sad.Martha

Six months and a day prior to your wife’s going to be with the Lord, I lost my wife after a two and a half year struggle with ovarian cancer, ending with an agonizing decline at the end. Throughout her transition into His presence and loving care, we exercised faith in God’s Word and His person for healing but with open hands for His perfect will. Through the exhaustion of the months of care, I surrendered to Him the exercise of asking questions as the Spirit trained me that He alone, He always, He uniquely is the sole answer to every life situation and His unlimited grace in our darkest, most despairing moments. Now, whenever the pangs of grief freshly pierce through my heart I cry out to Him, calling on His name- “Jesus” and He releases yet more grace, without delay, without condition. He does not lessen or remove my grief, but faithfully enters into it each time, mingling His life with mine, infusing more of the bountiful supply of the Spirit with every cycle. These many little additions of His grace seem to be working out a further transformation from glory to glory.He also is revealing to me the profound inheritance I have in all the members of His Body and my utter dependence on Him as the Head and all the members. As I learn to open up my heart to other members of His Body, the life fellowship of His Body continues to manifest itself in their love.Together with you in your grief, yet in awe of the marvelous grace of the One whose name is “I am” and Who is always with us.

The righteous goeth and no man lays it to heart...none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come - Isaiah 57:1. His grace is sufficient for you!

I just opened my mails after some days and started with the one on 'she blinked'. I was encouraged to continue to pray for a miracle, then I went up to the later one 'unconlable' without even thinking otherwise only to read the sad news. I lost my younger sister on the 4th of Nov 2009 due cancer and the tears have not ceased. I can only imagine what you are going through over the death of your very dearest one. Its only the COMFORTER that can console you. She has gone to rest but the good Lord will fill the vacuum. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WEEP AND BE COMFORTED IN THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT. We shall continue to pray for you.

I am sorry for your loss. God always provides, when he closes one door, He always opens another. I am sorry to bother you, but, I am from South Africa and I am trying to locate a Cheryl Davies who was once in S. A. and then reclocated to USA. Please could you pass on my email address to her if she is the lady that relocated to USA.Thank you and God bless.

Michael. Its hard to believe it was a year ago today that Brenda was called home; gone from us today, but not forgotten. I can only imagine how proud she must be that you have been able to continue to live your life to the fullest.Sincerely,Wes
