His breathing was laboring holding on to this life, but now he is breathing in the fresh presence of his Maker. Many of you may remember his deep, booming voice (before the stroke): Stig had a vision/dream one time that he told me about. He was up in heaven and he wondered how high of notes he could sing (Stig had a beautiful singing voice). In the vision, he kept singing higher and higher, with not limit. Then he wondered how low of a note he could sing, and again, it was limitless. I just now he is singing limited praises now, his greatest delight. For 8 months after the stroke, crying was his way to communicate. God has replaced that now with songs of joy and I have a hunch that his is the loudest voice there! Thank you, Mishpocha, for all your love and support. You and Yeshua have been amazing. He certainly put us in this family at the right time. I can't imagine getting through this painful season without you! I miss you, Stig! But I am so glad you are truly healed now.

Thank you for telling me, brother. I certainly include myself when I say that everyone there must be mourning the loss of such a wonderful man as Stig. Please pass on my love to everyone, and to Corrine. Do you have an E-mail address for her, and maybe a mailing address? I would like to write her a letter. My heart is heavy on the behalf of TAJ, and joyful at the same time for our brother Stig, who--just as you foretold, Rabainu--is now dancing and singing with our Master in the heavens! I hope you are well brother. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you Shalom. Daniel Wow, that is a heavy piece of news. Thank you for telling me, brother.

I will never forget the last time Scott and I greeted him. He held our hands in both of his and his eyes and smile conveyed more than his words ever could have. He shone with the grace of our Heavenly Father and the courage of the Holy Spirit. He touched our very souls. We will continue to pray for Corrine. Sincerely, Scott and Lonnie C. Dear Rabbi Corey,

I called Irene to let her know I'm available for whatever Corinne might need. I understand Marianne & David are coordinating things as well. As you once said, "In all things God will be glorified." Stig's condition was so much more serious than anyone knew, but the Lord knew and took him home. I'll NEVER forget the joyousness of their wedding - what a blessing it was to us all. I know Corinne will be greatly comforted by the love of our little mischpochah. Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai Devorah Thank you for letting us know.

Through all of his agonizing pain and struggle, I could still see the light of Yeshua in his eyes. Praying now for Corrine, I know Stig is dancing for his beautiful bride.

I am so glad Irene told me about him last week. I am so sorry to hear this, but I know he's in glory now. G-d bless you for everything you did for him and all the love and care given to him. He couldn't have been in a better place before going on. I know being in TAJ helped to prepare him. Blessings for all you do, Judy Dear Corey -
