Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 This is indeed a terrible tragedy, and Marc, from what the blog post said, was indeed a wonderful person and touched many people. I'll definately be praying.
shortnun Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Very sad. Prayers for his family. May he rest in peace.
Caramelonion Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 What a sad and truly touching story...I'm praying for his family and friends.
dominicansoul Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 this post truly touched me! What a story! It made me meditate on life and how very short it really is....and seeing as how this year I lost a dear friend whom I loved so very much...because of anger and silly hurt feelings...I really waste a lot of time...on brokenness...and ill feelings... ...one day our loved ones are here, and the next they are gone.....
TotusTuusMaria Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. Very sad.
doe-jo Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 wow... what a great and touching story!! Requiescat in pacem Christi!
TeresaBenedicta Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Great story; very moving. Although... I guess I wouldn't say a vocation snuffed out. It seems to me he lived out his vocation perfectly.
dominicansoul Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 [quote]Carol Wife and Mother Says: July 6, 2008 at 11:48 pm Like many others words fail me. (unlike Thom I do not have the gift to gab) They were such beautiful men. Like Hannah said “you know mom dad and Marc met God and Mary and didn’t want to come back but thats ok because they are with God.” words from a 7 year old. who would have known. Life is short so forget that tv show or computer and play and love your kids and tell you husband or wife of the love you have for them, because you never know when God will need them. Thank you franscicans of the Immaculate for the honor you sent them home with.

May they rest in peace! God bless this family and all their friends, those who are hurting the most by this tragedy....

Rising_Suns Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) This story really hits close to my heart, as I too will be entering the FI in August. Thank you all for your prayers for the Girard Family.
