I am saddened to learn of his passing. Some years ago I had been reading Dr. Epstein's book, Healing Visualizations, and decided to call him for a brief clarification on one of the exercises. To my surprise, he answered the phone himself and was very helpful in explaining the visualization and told me I could update him on the results. What a genuinely kind, generous and caring person he was. Heartfelt condolences to all whose lives he touched.

I am grateful that Dr G Epstein persevered his studies in imagery guided by Colette and master taught to others. I study with Jackie Schiff - Student of Dr. Epstein who has mentored me through my healing and spiritual growth. I was in shock when I heard about the passing of a great icon in the field of imagery healing. I am in the midst of reading one of Dr. Epstein's books: Healing Into Immortality. It's magical! May his teachings and spirit be felt always. Choose Life' - these words motivated him as they motivate us all. May his life live on. Warm wishes to his dear family, students and all who are inspired by him.

To the Epstein family, May Jerry rest in peace. Dr. Epstein helped me so much through the years, I use guided imagery daily to help me with my healing. I've never met him in person, but I feel as if I knew him like a very close friend. He will be so very missed by so many. May his next journey be filled with joy and happiness.
