Father Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, the founder and guiding light of Universal Peace Federation, I am deeply saddened and express my deepest heartfelt sorrow on your physical absence from all of us. Your principles are divine and absolute truth for humanity, peace, and harmony.

Your sacrifice and services to cultivate humanity have made tremendous contribution towards world peace. Our responsibilities as ambassadors for peace will increase in your physical absence. However, you will forever and always remain in our minds and hearts as inspiration, a guide and spiritual light to bring your dream come true "the heaven on earth" and "Abel UN"

My son, when he was very young, he came home from visitation with his dad. He had been given a haircut and there was a golf ball sized lump on the back of his neck. It didn't stick out THAT far, but it scared me nevertheless. I prayed and played a Divine Principle tape, and in three hours it was like it was never there. Reverend Moon gave me a vision of Jesus and other miracles. Without him I would have lived a boring and mundane life. Whether you believe he was the messiah or not, he was a good man who wouldn't take advantage of a soul. He told me to be a friend to everyone.
