Dear Gordon and Kirsty,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son and brother, he was an inspiration to everyone who knew of him. He knew what a supportive family he had and now he can join his Mum and thank her for giving him such a wonderful Dad and sister.

Our hearts are breaking for you both at this time, now is the time to spend with family and friends and rest up for a while - you have certainly been very busy with JHD over the years.

Please accept our condolences and we will wait for you to return to us when you feeling ready.

Lots of love

Debbie, Anthony and Bailey

Michael's life was "a miracle that change the world...and left it a better place than it was before".

I too, have lit my candle and placed it in the window in honor of the life of someone special who will always be remembered-Michael.

God bless and comfort you Gordon and Kirsty.

with love,

marshap

Gordon, I didnt know Michael, but I did know him, I knew him through you. Many times, when I have chatted with you, and I have been feeling down, you would help me feel better. Not by talking about whatever had me down, but instead by telling me stories about Michael. Even though I didn't know Michael, it was Michael that always cheered me up, and put a smile back on my face. It was like, you became Michaels voice, his advocate, he lived through you. He was a wonderful son, you are a wonderful father. And as a caregiver, your giving has been endless. But, never, never, never, as tired as you were, did Michael get spoken of with the utmost respect and dignity. You are a person who has taught me what true grace and humility is. I love hearing the stories about Michael, yes, he has won the heart of Scottland, and the whole world. He did his HD journey with a smile on his face, and I hope I can too, just like Michael. Lots of love to you and Kirsty.

Gordon:

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I hope you can take comfort in knowing that although Michael did not physically beat this dieseas he sure did with his soul. His courage, strength and fight will live on in all of us.

How could he not be among us? How could he not smile and with courage show us the way to live?

Bless you and Kristy for the dedication and model care you have given him. By being open about the losses, you have helped us all understand JHD and the dilemmas it creates.

Love and Prayers for you all.

Gordon, you helped us know Michael, and thru your talking about Michael we not only got to know what type of man Michael was, but what type of Man YOU are too. I do hope good memories of the past help you thru this time, and know I am thinking of you and hoping to see you in chat again. Love, Pat Wolf

Dear Gordon,

I know it is so difficult to give up your child, that is not the way you expect it to be in life. You gave Michael everything that a parent could and never gave up the fight. What a wonderful thing for him to have known, that you were always there for him. Again, May God hold you and your family in the hollow of his hand. Thanks for all you have shared here.

Gordon,

I am so sorry...I feel like I knew Michael. You were a wonderful loving father and MIchael was as blessed to have you as you were to have him. You have ALWAYS been supportive to me and many others. I want you to know that I am here for you! Email me @ Sandyd2@comcast.net or I will see you in the chat room.

My prayers are with you!!
