Magnificent paean! I hope you printed this for distribution at Vic's memorial service. Poignant expression of grief, uplifted by faith. Elegant, lyrical, glorious!

I'm sorry you have lost your dear friend, Roy, and hope his family are taking solace from the love you and the rest of your church will be giving her. It's not often we hear about our living, breathing saints, and when we do, we can't help but feel a sadness when they pass. He is now with God, and without pain. Your poem is lovely, my dear friend, a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. Love and hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

It's so sad to lose any friend, but there are those that are extra special. And you've shown that Vic was one of those. I'm so sorry for his family. I know their pain. We must focus on where he is now and celebrate his life.

Thank the Lord, there are fine, godly men like him; they may be few and far between. Our church has such members too, men and women. Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully written and so moving.

Great work. A story of a normal saint. "You live now where no one knows pain" People need to know of Christians who fought the good fight, and where they store their treasure. This is a true joy to read. Wish you the best in your writing.

Thank you for sharing this tribute written for Vic Micalef. I can tell he was a special person. I know his family will cherish this poem forever. I also know he's smiling down as he reads it. I will pray for his family and friends.

Roy,

I am so sorry to hear that you have lost another member of your church family. That is always a crushing blow here on earth - but also a reason to celebrate. *smile* What a lovely tribute!
