This is Jason O'Fear from Beyond the Edge of Reality and you are listening to Family Spirit or Psychic by Triana Brown.
Hey everybody, welcome to Family Spirit International. This is Lee Brown. I am your host and we have Dr. Charles Weston as a co-host. Hi Doc, how you doing?
Good evening everybody, doing great. Hope you are too.
We are actually here with Mark Watasek, our producer. Thank you for helping us with the show tonight, Mark.
You're welcome.
And later on tonight we will have Bill Freeman on as we do a memorial to someone very special, near and dear to our hearts.
There are a lot of you that our paranormal investigators will know, but more about that later. Tonight we've had just a series of strange events, whether it's bizarre techno difficulties to people having accidents and things like that.
So everybody please be careful tonight. It just feels like there's just too much chaos going on out there and we want to make sure our Family Spirit folks are happy and healthy and doing well tonight.
We have lost one of our own. And as I said, more coming about Padre Joseph later in the show.
So Doc, how about let's talk a little bit from your side of the world. What are you thinking? We've had the fall of two people running for presidency in the last two days.
In the Republican nominee. Tell me what's happening.
Well, I'll give you a couple of couple of quick updates. The on the political arena of things as you just mentioned, obviously, as most people are aware of, we've had Ted Cruz and John Kasich finally give up their efforts to block the nomination of Donald Trump for the Republican candidate for presidency.
We've had some ins and outs of discussions about this as most of you are aware of kind of my position with this, which is that the reason for all the hoopla about Trump, not that Trump is perfect.
But clearly the owners of this country, the people who run things from behind the curtains, they do not like him. They do not feel that they have the kind of control over him that they would prefer to have that any of the other candidates probably excluding
a couple, maybe Ben Carson and Rand Paul would have been somewhat limited in their control over them as well. But they obviously ended up not having any chance of of actually garnishing the the hearts and the minds of millions of Americans here over the past,
I guess seven or eight, nine months now that this race has been on. I find it very intriguing that that Cruz and Kasich now all of a sudden bow out with still the opportunity to have tried to have created a lot of havoc in in the process of
Trump winning the nomination, which should tell you then that they're already the powers to be are already five steps ahead of what you're thinking about.
And that brings you to the conclusion then that they obviously have a plan B and plan C that are in place in order to try to figure out how to continue to derail him.
Most of you may not realize at this point in time is that the establishment, the status quo, the owners of the country, the banking elite world, etc.
want a continuation of the breakdown of this country through the process of electing Hillary Clinton as the follow up to Barack Obama, which would continue to slide the country into an abyss that it would not probably ever be able to
climb out of. So the potential for America to turn around and go in an appropriate direction is there with Trump. However, the simple fact that they've conceded the nomination to him only tells you to be obviously
ever more weary of what their plans are to try to figure out how to make sure that somehow the race is too close to call when we get to the fall, and that then somehow they can read the electronic voting machines.
Accordingly, and somehow create a win for Hillary Clinton, just the same. That's also part of their fear, though, is that there's going to be such an arising of awareness and understanding of what's going on that Trump will literally
win in a landslide and then therefore they will not be able to control the outcome via the electronic voting machines in America, even though they actually count the votes in a company that's in Spain.
That's a whole other story, but for those of you that are willing to dig into it, just trace the whole process of the electronic voting issue and understanding the fraud that's involved with it and why they went away from the paper ballots and all that sort of stuff.
Switching gears over to our story that we've been discussing for quite some time now. One of the main sources on the story about the alternative health care providers that continue to mysteriously die.
There has been another one, a 25 year old that has mysteriously disappeared and was found dead in water again. Seems to be a very common component of a lot of these deaths is that many of them seem to be around rivers or lakes or oceans or whatever.
One of the other things that I found out in checking on her website here lately over the last week. She's actually been picked by a production crew that is doing a movie or putting together a documentary about these holistic doctor deaths.
She, as always, has been very humble about the fact that she unfortunately has been one of the foremost or forefront news sources about these articles about the mysterious passing of these holistic doctors.
Just here in the last five days, there was a chiropractor involved where he apparently not only killed his children, but he also then turned a gun on himself. He practiced chiropractic, I think in one of the Midwestern states, Wisconsin or Minnesota.
His wife fortunately was not there, and so his wife is still alive, so our prayers go out to her and obviously the families and patients touched by the loss of this chiropractor and his young children.
The other doctor was a 25-year-old young female who literally was right out of medical school, so that's kind of a bizarre one. Maybe it does not play into the whole role of some of this pattern of these bizarre deaths over the past year.
Anyway, following that story, though, obviously it continues to expand over time and the details of why this is happening and these doctors' efforts to try and combat autism and cancer and other things in a holistic manner.
It's nothing short of criminal, what's going on, and a very sad story for America and for the rest of the world, really, because there are a lot of other doctors from other countries, too, that have been involved in these mysterious deaths, and hopefully they will stop.
Another note, too, back to the political things. Some of you may or may not have caught this, but there was a pretty bizarre exchange that happened between reporters and news media with Chelsea Clinton, as you might remember, is the daughter of Hillary and Bill Clinton.
At least we're told that anyway. She made a very unusual comment here in the past week or so, where she told reporters and media that since Justice Scalia, Anton Scalia, the most conservative member of the Supreme Court, was now no longer in the way,
it was going to allow her mother to make sure that she would be able to change the Second Amendment of the Constitution to get rid of our guns.
And I thought that was rather brazen and arrogant and a whole bunch of other adjectives that you could give that statement. But as many of my Facebook followers commented on that particular article and the comments by Chelsea Clinton, the general gist of the comments on my Facebook page were that,
well, thanks for just coming out and telling us that you assassinated Judge Anton Scalia. So anyway, those are some of my headlines and topics for today.
Well, it's incredible what's going on with all the serious stuff, bad stuff that's happening in the news. I want to be sure to tell you about the real good story of the day.
There's a video going around of a soldier returning home from Afghanistan, and he gets the heroes welcome that he deserves, first class seats from their fellow passengers, and he comes in to a big party from the city.
So it's a beautiful story, and I'm posting the video in our event group, the one from the event tonight, to talk about it and show everybody. It's a great video.
If you want to see something that will make you smile in day-to-day life, you have to look for the positive because there's enough negative.
And I just thought that was really nice that his family and friends got together and did this for him. So also, there's a five-year-old that was part of the Make-A-Wish program,
and the whole town of San Diego got together and around the hospital area and turned it into Gotham City.
That was one of the things that he wanted to see, and they made it into Gotham, and everybody decked out in their costumes and the city decked out.
You can see that also. I'll be posting that shortly. It's just a great story that they would do that for a bunch of children.
There's one child, and they're so helpful with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and that's a wonderful program.
Several of my friends have been involved with that, and I've seen some wonderful memories come out of that for people that deserve it.
So, let's see. Mark, can we go to break real quick and see if we can come back with Bill?
We have Bill with us right now.
There he is. Great.
We're good. We're holding him.
He was just real quiet. Bill, how did you do that? When we have board meetings, you're not quiet.
We'll come back from break and we'll discuss what's going on.
Let's take a short break, and when we come back with Family Spirit International, we'll start with Bill in his announcement.
Please stay tuned and tell everyone you know to tune in tonight because we're going to do something special for someone we owe a lot to.

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Family Spirit International.
This is Lee Triana-Brown with Dr. Charles Weston, Mark Wotaszek, and our special guest, Bill Freeman.
He's going to be making a very sad somber announcement.
Thanks, Lee. Hello, Mark. Hello, Doc. Yeah, tonight's a conversation I was hoping we wouldn't have to have.
But, you know, God sees things a little bit different than we do.
And I guess he has bigger plans for our friend than what she's needed here.
At 1.45 this morning, a great man, a great warrior, a great spiritual leader, by the name of Padre Joseph Bronze,
lost his battle to pneumonia, lung infection, blood infection.
He got hit with a bronchitis, and the bronchitis just advanced to the point that it finally took his life.
I, for one, met a great loss. He was a mentor, a teacher, and just a great friend.
People in the spiritual warfare know Father Padre or know of him.
He was just a very, very, very sincere, open, straightforward, beautiful man.
He helped me through a lot of things in spiritual warfare. We conversed a lot and through spiritual warfare.
I know you've had the pleasure of meeting him.
Yes, sir.
You know, and there's just an endless, endless, endless amount of people that he helped.
He worked with, he mentored, and just, I mean, the list we keep going on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
You know, I had the pleasure of being with him.
I had the pleasure of working on cases with him, talking to him, having to break and break with him, having dinner with him.
You know, I did, was able to go to the hospital up in ICU on Sunday and visit it with him.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really see him because he had him in an inversion bed where they turned the upside down and rocky into that.
But I was able to, you know, at least talk to my friend and my mentor.
You know, it's one of the things that's going on now that, you know, Leah, I'm going to ask you listeners for people who know him.
You know, what a very humble man he is.
The unfortunate part about his passing is there's no life insurance.
The family is not wealthy at all because he lived a true, I don't know when you want to say a farmer's life as a religious man or what have you.
But the family needs help to give this man the service that he needs.
You know, it did set up a GoFundMe page. It's under Padre Joseph Brent Memorial Fund to try to help the family out some.
The response to it so far has been good.
It has been great, but it's been good.
I would like to see it get done because the services was beyond on this Saturday.
It gives you some little insight of who he is. You know, I follow kind of a begging belief, but that never teared him from helping me.
Same thing with like you, Leah, and another people.
If you were in trouble and you're in need, he give you to share off his back.
He would do anything in the world that he could do for anybody, for any type of reason, and especially in the spiritual warfare.
I have never seen him back down from any type of a case, a case that I just walked away from, you know, from obviously from the attacks that I got when we discussed on a previous show.
He was probably the reason why I'm here today.
He helped through prayer and through radio to break whatever bond that was tied to me and broke it.
I think he took some repercussions of it, of it.
You know, from just certain things that he said, he would never admit to it, but I'm pretty sure that he did.
He just, he was just that type of a man.
He was a member of the Dominion Ministry and he was an asset to the Dominion Ministry.
So that's what I could say about him right now. There's a lot that goes on.
Obviously, I love the man.
I found out tonight, too, which was kind of remarkable that I was supposed to be meeting with them sometime this week to go out to dinner.
He asked, called me up, he says, Bill, can we get together someday?
And I said, sure, Padre said, yeah, give me a day, give me a time.
I'll come down, I'll get you and we'll take you out to dinner.
I was informed tonight by his wife. She said that she couldn't ever bring it up to me and a couple other people that he spoke to could never bring it up to me.
That, you know, he says, Bill, my husband had a true love for you.
And I said, I felt the same way about him.
She goes, no, you don't understand.
And it kind of caught me off guard. And I'm like, Mary Ann, that's his wife's name.
I said, Mary Ann, what are you saying to me?
She's saying, you know, in the short amount of time that you were with Padre, he fell in love with you.
He loved you like you were his own son.
And I said, no, that was nice.
And no, he goes, she says, I'm not finished with you yet.
I said, OK, proceed.
She said, the reason you follow a pagan belief and the way that you turn around and go is because you're an angry man.
You're angry with the Christian religion because obviously I grew up in a Methodist house.
I was baptized in a Catholic religion.
I went through all the sacraments and everything like that.
And she turned around and says, you were very angry with the Christian religion with Christians and obviously with your church.
You know, and I never really thought about it until that moment that he's seen something that I probably put away and buried this.
And I'm saying this story because.
You still there, Bill?
Well, I think we we lost connection.
Doc, everybody, I'm here.
OK, we lost Bill.
You want to turn back?
I'm sorry.
Bill, are you all right?
Yeah, I'm OK.
All right.
I apologize for that.
I ran my hand close up and I knocked off my internet.
I apologize.
Well, the reason why I'm saying this story because, you know, this is to give you some insight through this man is.
So anyways, you turn around and he says, you know something, Bill, you're very angry with with with religion.
But, you know, even even while my Christian belief, you know, I was never really into organized religion.
But he turned around and he was telling his wife and he also told Jeremy Leonard, who he was mentoring.
Pretty much the same story, which Jeremy found he fessed up to tonight because of of Padres passing.
Padres goal for me was to try to bring me back to my Christian roots, that my Christian roots is still there.
That I do have a strong faith, which, you know, I meant to be for I do have a strong faith.
But he's seen that in me and he wanted me to he wanted to bring that out of me.
You know, so I say this story because I'm reflecting a lot on myself right now.
I'm reflecting a lot of myself and and and where I'm at and where I'm going and he did that for me.
You know, and there's been an emptiness and there's been an anger with me for many, many, many, many, many, many years.
That I've always buried and just put away and pushed off to the side.
I never think about it and just go on like the way it is.
But, you know, now I got to say that there's been an awakening, so to speak.
And, you know, in a way, too, I'm kind of pissed off that he's not here to help me guide to guide me through.
So now that's a beautiful story that he has touched you in such a way that is, you know, life changing.
And I'm very I don't like to say that I'm sad for all of us because it seems so selfish.
Well, you know, it's I think it's OK to be selfish.
I mean, it's OK because, you know, I'll be honest with you.
Right now I am selfish.
And right now I'm pissed off, you know, but, you know, then I have to look at something else, too.
You know, being selfish and being pissed off is kind of a way of a tribute to a beautiful man.
You know, we will get through this, you know, and I know I know he earned his wings.
You know, he's where he wanted to be.
You know, his wings, he's sitting next to his father waiting for his next call.
You know, I know that, you know, but, you know, as a human being, we do tend to get upset.
We do tend to to to get upset about things.
You know, we will turn around and we look and this is like one of the things that we talked about, you know,
what I was talking about earlier about me getting angry with the churches I was involved with.
You know, unfortunately, I lost the family.
I lost, you know, everything and a church had a lot to do with that.
And that's when my anger came into play and I didn't see it until Padre boarded up.
So as I'm saying this, you know, am I am I angry?
Yeah, I'm angry because I personally feel there was unfinished business here.
You know, he had unfinished business to do with me and that's the selfishness of it.
Will it go away and will I accept it?
Of course I will.
But at this moment, you know, there is anger and there is selfishness and there is that cry that you want that person here with us.
But then I look on the other side of it and know that, you know, he is where he wanted to be.
He's there where he loved his life to be, you know, and that brings solace and peace.
Well, maybe what was left unfinished is something that my dad used to call it taking up a yoke from someone.
Maybe this was his way to bequeath this to you.
And I'm just going to let that sink in because that's a lot to think about.
That was a heavy statement.
Yeah.
But I mean, Lee, it's, you know, I'm saying this tonight, you know, and I'm using me as an example.
But that's just to this great man was, you know, I use me for an example because I want to use other people's names.
But there's people that you know that we're close to.
There's people in the ministry whose soul she's touching the same way.
There's, there's, you know, my Facebook page got blown up, my spirit, my spirit hunters page got blown up from people who I don't know.
But our people to he touched and his arms reached out far and wide.
You know, he was just an amazing, amazing man.
And, you know, he put a collar on and he never let that collar get in the way of who he was.
When you talk to that man, and no matter if you talk to him on the phone, like people got upset because he said you only got to speak to him on the phone.
It didn't matter if you spoke to him on the phone or you spoke to him face to face.
The person he presented himself to you when he talked to you is the person who he was.
There was no hiding behind anything like so.
Sometimes when you talk to a minister, you talk to a priest, you know, they have this godly appearance that they got to hold up and show up at a certain beside that they had to carry.
You know, that wasn't Padre Padre.
He's a man and he'll be the first to tell you he's a man and he's going to talk to you the way a man talks, you know, and that that was one of the beautiful parts of that was probably one of the most beautiful things that we could say about him.
I'll tell you what, right now, for all of you that are listening, if you would please invite your friends to come listen to the show, www.diversitybroadcastingnetwork.com right now.
See if we can make our listening audience even larger.
And everyone, let's let's lift up his family and thoughts and prayers and blessings. If you have a white candle that you'd like to light.
Just light up your home with love in honor of Padre Joseph bras. Let's do that.
And Marcus got a beautiful song for us.
In the meantime, there is something that we can do for Padre Joseph bras family. I have shared his go fund me page to help pay for his memorial service.
We are only trying to get $3,400 to pay for his service.
Now, of course, we there's more that could be done for his family. But you know, this is not a, you know, everybody just get in there and where we're just some money making scam or something like that.
Please don't think that this is for a good friend or brother Padre Joseph bras. He has passed away.
He's the kind of man that always gave his shirt off his back to help others.
And he's left a beautiful family who needs our help, just as he's helped so many.
Now it's our turn. He did not have life insurance and to help pay for this memorial service. We are putting together a go fund me page.
Bill has already taken care of this and people are donating people are sharing.
Do what you can do every little bit counts. And I see that we know we've already got eight donations.
So please, please pass this information around. I have it on my Facebook wall. I have it on our event page.
It's www.gofundme.com slash 223. The is Victor K. A. V. W. And Mark, let's just take a moment in and do this wonderful memorial to.
One more thing I'd like to add into that. The go fund me page is exactly that. It's family doesn't want anything else.
You know, I was I've spoken to Padre's beautiful wife Marianne quite a few times.
They're not looking for anything. Yeah. And as humble as they are, they said we do need help, but they're afraid they didn't want to ask for help.
That's that's the promise of this family. You know, I told her when Padre was very sick, I said, Marianne, if there's anything that we could do for you, please let me know.
She came to me today and says, Bill, we do need help.
Yeah, that we do need help. The total service is well over $3,400. But that money that that we're asking for is for the cremation part of the service.
And that's what it's all about. It's nothing. The family doesn't want anything more than just try to have some help to memorialize this beautiful man.
So for that, I want to thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Badness.
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty.
May hope forever wipe away your tears.
And above all, may silence make you strong.
Chief Dan George.
Welcome back to Family Spirit International. I posted a few things in our event page about Padre Joseph.
One of the things that I wanted to bring up to you, Bill, about him is that, you know, he was just so incredibly intellectual.
But something that when I talked to him, we were talking about history. We were talking about the desire to bring peace, you know, to our culture.
And that's one of the things that that struck me about the conversation that was what he wanted. That's what, of course, so many people in the world want, but we were talking about it in history.
And one of the quotes that that I brought up that I have posted at the top of this page, I think that this is speaking to the heart of what you were talking about how Padre Joseph told you through his wife,
that he felt like you were angry at religion.
And how Christianity had had treated you.
And so this, I think, maybe should be shared to you.
Chief Redjacket in 1805 said this. He said, Brother, we do not wish to destroy your religion or take it from you. We only want to enjoy our own.
And I just feel like you were trying to enjoy your own religion and someone was imposing their view on you.
And that's that's where the rubber met the road and you were through with it.
And I think that that is the message of where he felt for you.
That you were just trying to enjoy your own. And while you're an investigator and you're helping other people, you're a cross between a social worker and a spiritualist.
And before you came on, and I didn't have any idea of this message that you had to deliver, I have a link at the very bottom of the event page.
And it was going to be my feel good story of the day.
But it didn't work out that way. It just didn't feel right.
Basically, it's a story about something called the imposter syndrome of social work.
Now, hear me out before, you know, we get too far into this because it seems like it's it's not going to, you know, this doesn't compute with what we're trying to talk about, but it does.
All right. Basically, what this whole thing stems around is that so many people that do social work.
Feel like when things go wrong or things can't be undone or sad things like what we're dealing with right now.
You know, we feel like we failed at something.
And what that really is a sign of, you know, why didn't our prayers work? Why didn't our our blessings and all the things that we can do, you know, as spiritualists?
Why didn't it stop us from losing this man?
And that's what I was I was suffering with. And this is where it led me.
Basically, that means when you feel like that, that means that you're taking to heart what you're doing.
That's what that means because we have to accept that we're human.
Exactly.
And that, you know, like you said so many times in the last day and a half earlier today, you know, that God wants what God wants and he's the one that knows best.
And so as we look forward at social care networks or dealing with social work, the imposter syndrome, it's what it's called.
I think this is something that so many of us in the ministry need to look into because we cannot fix it all.
We cannot help everybody.
And a man like this precious man that we're talking about, gosh, you know, did he ever feel that way?
Did he ever feel like what he was doing wasn't enough?
I don't I never got that out of him.
He just he just never gave up the relentless love.
It's true. He never he would never, ever, ever give up, you know, even when things didn't work out the way we would like to see him work out.
You know, he would just turn around and say, you know, it's meant to be what it's meant to be.
And, you know, and he lived, that's how we live life. You know, it's if it's meant to be, it's meant to be what's going to be is going to be.
You know, he said that there's a path that we're, you know, we've talked about this before.
There's a path that we're provided and the path that we follow.
And, you know, the path sometimes brings us joy and sometimes it brings us heartache.
Sometimes it brings us success. Sometimes it brings us failure.
But that that's, you know, like he would sit around and say that's part of life.
You know, and he always used to say to which is one of the things I promote a lot is no matter how dark or how bleak or how bad something is.
There's a reason for it and it's always something positive comes out of it.
And that's truly the way that man lived. No matter how bleak or how sad it looked, something positive has always come out of it.
Well, I'm going to read this next piece here and then I'm going to do my best to let's try to find an upbeat topic because, wow, this is this is a painful night.
So this is called the Native American way of life. And this is actually a Shawnee blessing.
And basically, this reminds me so much of what you're describing to me about Padre Joseph.
I feel like the reason my Padre Joseph was able to give so much is because he didn't fear much.
Okay, so here's, here's this in here's the, here's the blessing.
So live your life that fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no man about his religion and respect him in his views and demand that he respects yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and have service to other friends and people.
Show respect to all men but grovel to no one. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light for your life and for strength.
Give thanks to you for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, then the fault is yours.
That's a beautiful prayer.
Yeah, yeah, very beautiful.
So have we got anything else on the horizon guys? Let's, let's, let's resolve and wrap up this beautiful memorial to this precious man.
And by all means, I'd like for every one of our listeners to promise me that you'll pass around the link to the GoFundMe page.
Just pass it around. If you don't have any money to put in there, that's fine. Just pass it on, pass the plate.
Pass the plate folks, pass the plate. We've got to take care of this precious family.
That $5, believe it or not, $5 goes a long way.
Yep.
$5 goes a long way.
Pass the plate.
When you were a kid and they passed the plate and your parents gave you $0.50 to put in the plate, did you ever thump the bottom of the plate and kept the $0.50?
No.
I knew a kid that used to do that every time. Oh, he makes so mad. He thumped the bottom of the plate and put the quarters in his pocket.
I called on him.
You know, it's funny when you say that, when I was a kid, when I was a child, and now we're going back many, many, many, many, many, many years ago.
Oh, it's not that many.
You know, this is when my mother and my father were together and we were living at a base in Maryland.
And this story has always stayed with me forever. The thought of keeping the money when the cash play came around, sometimes as a kid you turn around and say, wow, $0.50, I get a lot of ice cream off the truck with $0.50.
Oh, yeah.
There was a story that we were told about, and I forget if it was through one of the sermons or through Sunday school or whatever it was.
And it talked about the three wise men that had $1,000 that Jesus gave $1,000 to.
The first man turned around and took that $1,000 and he buried it.
And the second one went out and invested it and doubled it.
And the third man went out and tripled it.
So when Jesus came back, he went to the first man and asked him, how did you do $1,000?
He said, my Lord, I buried the money for you. It's here safe and sound.
Jesus said, well, okay.
Went to the second man and said, and what did you do with your $1,000?
He said, my Lord, I went out and I doubled your money for you. Here it is.
And Jesus said, well, thank you.
Okay.
Went to the third man.
And he said, would you do $1,000?
He said, Lord, I went out and I tripled the money so you'd have more to pass around.
So the moral of the story was that Jesus gave all three of these men to turn around and gave them a gift to turn around to share with others.
The first man to play conservative, he buried the money.
What did he do to help anybody?
He did nothing.
He lived a very protective life and he buried it and he was able to help nobody.
The second man gave a half effort and had money to pass around to help out others.
So Jesus was like, okay, not bad, but I think you can still do better.
The third man that tripled the money up, Jesus says, now you're a true believer and a true follower.
Now look how many you could help with that.
That story stayed with me even up to this day for me to remember it.
That's why I never took a dime at a collection plate.
That's a good story.
It's a good story. I'm one of those kind that take two pennies and rub them together till they scream.
I can find ways to strip stuff.
Oh gosh.
Well, doc, do you have any final thoughts?
You know, I did not know this gentleman and I'm at a loss for words.
I mean, obviously he meant a lot to all of you who were close to him,
all the people's lives that he touched and able to do things that he was capable of to improve their lives and etc.
It makes me think about things that I try to do every day for people and trying to improve their health
and their optimum function in the world and bless this man and his family.
Hopefully we can do some positive things for trying to fund him and fund his memorial here for passing him on to a better place.
I hope people will pass the plate and, you know, drop a dollar in and go fund me or whatever they need to do.
Or at least just, like I said, just share the information with other people because other people might have more to give as well.
So maybe that's what I'm hoping for tonight.
One more thing about Padre, all the things that we talked about that he's done for other people and everything like that.
And this is one thing I could say from the bottom of my heart.
This man never ever once asked for anything in return, never, never.
If he had to fly from here to California, he would find a way to find the money to go out there just to help somebody.
And he would never ever ask anybody for anything.
He was just that remarkable of a man.
I forgot to bring that up earlier.
That's called Givers Game.
That's amazing.
I like it.
Well, as you know, today is May the 4th.
Has anybody told you guys it's Star Wars Day?
It is a Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you.
There's a chapel.
And like Angela said, Lee, tomorrow is Revenge of the 5th.
Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. Oh my goodness.
Oh yeah, that'll be a whole different kind of spirit, right?
That's right.
Well, I'm glad we got a couple of laughs out of this before the show wrapped up.
I want to thank Bill for being on and saying such wonderful things about our precious friend.
Mark, thank you for helping us with our memorial tonight.
Doc, thank you for getting us to current events.
And I hope that everybody has a blessed night.
Remember what I said, help those that have helped you.
In honor of Padre Joseph, pass the link around for the GoFundMe and what we're calling past the plate.
Let's help that family out.
Have a blessed night. Thank you for listening to Family Spirit International.
Good night. Good night.
This is Family Spirit and this is a Dregas production.
