A TRIBUTE TO MY HUSBAND






GORDON


I first met Gordon in January 1997 when we both joined the Alpha-1 Foundation Board. Four years later Gordon called me and told me he loved me. At the time, I had a good job and two wonderful children. I thought my life was fulfilled. But Gordon showed me what I was missing and turned my little world upside down.


Our children initially had reservations, especially about our 21-year age difference. But over time they’ve come to bond not only with us, but also with each other. And every year at Passover our children, their spouses and their children join with us to celebrate Passover, a tradition we plan to continue in honor of Gordon.

Gordon was my best friend; my soul mate and I will miss him terribly. On the other hand, as I told him shortly before he died, I will be OK. One reason is because Gordon, who looked out for me in so many ways, insisted we move to Glenmeadow, near where my children and my young grandchildren lived. So not only will I have the support of family and old friends, but also my new friends at Glenmeadow. Finally, as always, I will have the support of our Alpha-1 Community.

Others here today will rightly celebrate Gordon’s many accomplishments, his research, his mentoring and especially the influence he had on the Alpha-1 Foundation. But I want to celebrate his warm smile, his infectious laugh and his incredible love of life. One of the last things he told me was what a hard time he was having letting go. I want to celebrate Gordon the husband, the father, the grandfather and the friend. I loved him more than words can ever say. He changed my life forever.

  1. I'm Rachel and I own a herbal Therapy Center. What I am about to share with you is based on actual fact and I am not a socially irresponsible person. I am a woman of character and I believed that we have only one purpose for existing and that is to help our fellow humans. And everyday millions of other people are joining me and waking up to the understanding that love is the only thing that matters in this life.

    For the past 10+ years I have dealt with a lot of people who have come to me asking if herbal remedies will get rid of herpes, usually genital. I always tell people from what I have observed and heard about NATURAL REMEDY and I suggest that they try it for themselves. I have never told anyone that herbal remedy would cure their herpes.

    I have never told anyone this because I have never had any physical proof to back that up... until this day.

    I have always told anyone who would listen the mystical work herbal remedy do for me when ever I'm in depression, I could say that because if it did that for me, it would do the same for anyone else.

    I have also always told people how herbal remedies got my doctor to successfully cured DIABETES, INFERTILITY, CANCERS, PARALYSIS, STDS & INFECTIONS.

    And I tell anyone about how herbal remedy got me off the Lysinopril I was taking for my high blood pressure That also normalized within 2months. And I am thankful it did because Lysinopril has since been recalled for turning the livers of hundreds of thousands of people into mush!

    And with all the good things herbal remedy has done for my body, I still resisted the urge to tell anyone suffering with herpes that herbal remedy would cure them... but now I am here to tell you differently because I finally came in contact with Dr Utu an African Traditional Herbal Practitioner.

    Few days ago I received an email from a young lady and she told me that her doctor has told her that her body is 100% free of any HSV virus. That her herpes has been cured! I could feel her bouncing off the walls through her email... and my heart was just as happy for her.

    I have asked her to please post a comment on my YouTube Channel.

    I don't know how long she had been infected before she purchased Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal Cure and I do not know anything about the severity of her outbreaks. All I know was that she promised me that she was following the guidelines that Dr Utu gave her to the letter.

    I know there are a lot of people who will think this is too good to be true... but I have always believed that herbal remedy was a viable cure for herpes - but without any proof I felt it would be seriously irresponsible to tell anyone that it would.

    Please feel free to leave a comment to me but please no negative ones. My company is my life and I have spent over 10 years nurturing a good reputation for myself and my business. I am putting everything on the line here, so please bear with me until we know more.

    Why am I risking so much? Why don't I just wait for her? - Are you serious? This is the BIGGEST health breakthrough in my entire lifetime! I'm over 60 and there have been NO CURES for anything since the day I was born! The big pharmaceutical companies all know there is no money in a cure. The money is in teaching you and me to 'live with' and 'manage' deadly, body-wasting and disgusting diseases for our entire lives.

    Imagine the joy all over the world when her story breaks! I invite you all to share in that joy with her and with me.

    You can also contact Dr Utu for yourself via e-mail; drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
