It is very difficult for me to think about beginning a new week without my mom, but I'm trying my best. Grant and I are temporarily back in Pittsburgh with our families and will return late this week to prepare for the memorial service. We both received great support yesterday from those in our church families and continue to find solace in the e-mails and cards we have been receiving.
Many of you have e-mailed me asking for my address and for Grant's so that you could keep in touch with us, so we thought it would be easiest to just post them here:
Nadine and John Michalak
338 Myrna Drive
Pittsburgh, PA 15241

Will, Nadine, Grant, & families, this is the first opportunity I've had to say that you did a wonderful job on the obituary and memorial service -- I know Deb did a lot of the planning.
ReplyDeleteA couple of comments: Will, the fact that you were lying beside Deb, singing to her as she transitioned to heaven, reminds me of the lyrics from Mark Schultz' "Walking Her Home."
On my drive away from Deb's memorial service, Laura Story's "Mighty to Save" played on a Christian radio station. These powerful lyrics -- especially "Jesus conquerred the grave" -- were affirming to me, and I hope they are to you, too. Love, B.J.
Mighty to Save
Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Yes I surrender
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
You were mighty to save
Dear B. J.,
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have found you at the Deb's memorial service. Your comments on this blog were such a comfort to me. You found just the right scripture, hymn, verse, and words that helped my heart. I'm sure others felt the same way but I just wanted you to know it meant a lot to me being so far away from Deb. Her spirit lives on in my heart. Thank You, Carol Paulsen
