Lit a candle in memory of Gerard J. Lovett
I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of the brother you both so selflessly cared for. He is in God’s loving embrace now. Please take comfort in the reality of the love, protection and nurturing life you have always provided for him. You are very special people, God’s love shines through you. I know Gerard is resting in peace and surrounded by love due to your wonderful example.
Uncle Gene… my condolences go out to you and all who lived Gerard. I cried when I saw his pictures. Thibking of it now makes me cry. I wish I could be there with you and hug you. Too much sadness in this world. At least Kiera was there to even the odds and Gerard got to see her…. I know he and Grandma Lovett are watching you and that your family is so proud of you and all youve accomplished publicly and privately. I am. I never had a father but I’ll tell you a secret- growing up I always wished you were my father. People don’t always realize how lucky they are. I hope you did and I’m sure Gerard and tour parents did
I love and miss you and know I’m there fornyou even if I cant be there physically.
Lit a candle in memory of Gerard J. Lovett
The gesture I left is not intended as a Jewish star of David…there are no stars or anything related to astronomy among the pictures…and that was wgat Herard loved most
..along with food. I prefer to remember him reading about outer and inner space though and know hes finally able to get thr answers he searched for… and to tell his poved ones everything he learned and knows for tjr first time. Truly I believe he is in heaven, thiugh he leaves behind those who love him. But do not stand at his grave and weep, he is not there he does not sleep …he is a thpusand winds thatbblow, the diamond glints on winters snow, he is the sun on ripened grain, he is the gentle autumn rain
When yky awaken in the morning’s hush he is tbe swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight, he is the sodt starlightat night…do not stand at his grave and cry, like my grandfather andnthose before him…. They did not die.
Gerard was onen of the kindest, most gentle souls I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. It’s a rare thing to say that a person is truly good and to mean it completely, but Gerard was one of the good ones. it wasn’t his disability that made him good,either. I’ve worked with people who dealt with all kinds of disabilities and just like everyone else, they are who they are regardless of the hardships dealt to them. It had been too long since I’d seen him but I will never forget the smile on his face or the frown when he was denied seconds or thirds at dinner, and I will forever remember his wave. Rest in peace Gerard, with your family and God forever, and keep watch over thise people down here who will forever miss you… amd your only niece who God gave you the chance to meet before meeting Him. Tell your mom I miss her, and my Uncle Jim and Grandpa and Brian and Bob and too many others. At least now you can truly have peace and the disabilities that plagued you here will be no more, letting you enjoy the stars and astronomy in a way no living person ever can- float amongst the galaxies and let us know whats out there. and give your brother a sign that all is well and you are there watching over him and waiting to see him again.
