Through GNI, Gerard became my nephew... He calls me auntie...
My family and friends, I'd be grateful for your love and prayers for my wife, Michelle. She is very ill in hospital.

Wish Gerard and his wife well...hope she gets better
IGH, I am very sorry to hear of Michelle's illness. She is in my thoughts and prayers.
She is the photographer in their family, that was one of my links to their family.
I recently stayed at the Grand Coastal? on ECD and was very impressed with their flower arrangements.
oh shit, I am sorry to hear this
Just checked, Gerard is still a member of GNI.
Yes, Tola she... she took out a picture of Holy rosary Church, where Pual & I got married for me. She tired to get photographs of Paul's maternal great-grandfather & grandfather's grave at Meadow Bank Church, but could not go in to the yard. The gate was locked. This was many years ago.
So sorry to hear of this, my well wishes go out to her.
So sorry to hear this. Prayers and well wishes for safe recovery.
Sorry to hear about her illness. Hope she gets well very soon.
Sad when such a young person gets ill but I join Gerard and GNI in keeping faith, hope and prayers alive.
My prayers and well wishes are for Michelle's speedy and full recovery. Life is so fragile. Two days ago a distant relative was shot and killed by a stray bullet while fishing in the Everglades. Gerhard is a really wonderful person and from what I read, she is too. Best wishes Michelle.
Sorry to hear,speedy recovery to Gerhard wife Michelle.
Gerard is not doing well with Michelle illness, while at Mercy hospital. Because they are very close.
It might be nice if some on GNI make contact with him at the flower shop. He might appreciate the gesture.
Sorry to hear about Gerhard's wife. Hope she pulls through.
Gerhard my nephew, I am extremely sorry to hear of this sad news.
Continue to be strong and hopefully all will eventually be good again.
Wishing Gerhard, wife and family best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Thanks IGH for letting us know.
My prayers are with Gerhard's wife, Michelle upon reading this sad news today. Be strong and have faith in God that she will overcome her illness.
Thank you, Indra for sharing this with us.
Wish her the best. I developed tremendous respect for Gerhard when he was a regular poster in GNI in 2011. They say that beside every good man there is an equally good woman, so I am sure that Michelle is deserving of our prayers.
She is too young to go,
She ain't going anywhere dude. Some predictions you just don't make.
Get well wishes for Gerhard's wife.
I sincerely hope for Michelle's recovery from this illness. Stay strong Gerhard.

It's not a prediction. He's expressing an opinion.

That is correct.
Hope is all there is to life. All the best and a speedy recovery. Michelle.
Prayers are in place.
Gerard and I are friends on FB and from the pictures he posts , you can see the love between he and his wife. They also have young son.
Almighty God sickness and cure are in your hands, kindly relief Michelle of her ilness.
Quit the bickering on this thread, we all share our feelings and emotions differently, especially for some who don't know them personally.
I hope Gerard's wife, Michelle, is able to get the best medical care possible. Our medical care is sub-standard and many lives are lost that can be saved. Getting to the US for medical treatment is not that difficult these days. Gerard has more resources at his disposal than the average Guyanese and I would expect him to do his best in getting her to the US or Canada for medical treatment. I wish her well and sincerely hope that she can overcome her illness and get back to a normal life.
Gerhard, please stay strong. We will pray for Michelle's quick recovery.
So sorry to hear about this, speedy wishes/prayers for Michelle's recovery and stay strong Gerhard.
Gerhardt,
There is power in prayer.
In your hour of great need, seek the grace of God.
Ask Him. He is listening all the time.
He will answer you.

I am sure they are doing their best....

As Chameli said: "I am sure they are doing their best...."
I just read his FB ... Michelle is receiving treatment in a hospital in Trinidad.
Michelle, Gerhard friends on GNI are all rooting for your speedy recovery.
The diaspora works! Just got a WhatsApp msg about this. Apparently they're now in T&T where she's receiving treatment. Prayers for strength for the family, wisdom for the doctors & a full and complete recovery.
Get hard made a post on FB this morning.
HE is in Trinidad and seems.like quite a few Guyanese that are there is being very helpful.

That was not a joke it was auto corrected from my phone.
It was a genuine mistake.
First I wish them well, prayers alone cannot heal, What is her illness! obviously it,s a medical problem, I do have access to medical specialists, perhaps we can guide them for such help.

KP. some of us might apologise afterwards, for not doing enough with resources available to us.
If you have contact with medical specialists, I would suggest you contact Gerhard at Double 'B' Exotic Gardens in Guyana and see if your service is needed.
.
So very sorry to hear this!
I pray that the Almighty Bestow His Mercies and Blessings on Michelle for a speedy recovery from her illness and restore her to good health.
IGH, if Michelle condition is that serious, why not tell us what kind of sickness she's is suffering from? There is no shame in illness. In these critical times, her hope relies on her doctors, prayers and moral support from friends and family. Over the years, we have given many GNIers our support and prayers until some are gone and some still remain with us.

Well i planned to announce my expiration date on GNI.

I ask the question and leave it alone. That's my way of respecting her privacy. However, I would like to remind you that this is a public forum where people from around the world can read and make their own conclusion as apposed to a phone call or emails to a chosen few. The word privacy became conflicting here. Belated Jalil had stage four cancer and all the prayers couldn't save him, but his illness was known to us. What other illness can be worse? Django?
To all the well wishers, it is regrettable that I have to announce that Michelle passed away at 1:20 am. I really do sincerely appreciate all the love and prayers. We have not made final arrangements as yet but will update when they are.
Stay strong Gerhard, my nephew, as you make preparations for your wife.
We will talk at an opportune time.
Gerhard please accept my sympathy .

I do not visit GNI often & from some of the replies I see nothing has changed.
Also, I don't ask people what their illness is. Even if I know I won't broadcast it. It is up to the individual or family.
As Michelle is RESTING IN PARADISE, let this REST TOO.
WOW!! This is indeed shocking. My sincere condolences to the Family. May her soul RIP!
Here is to one of the most beautiful couple Gerhard Ramsaroop n Michelle Heralall Ramsaroop. Sad to hear Gerhard has lost his life partner but note Michelle was a strong empowered Guyanese woman. May she rest in peace and may we all give Gerhard, son n family all our love n support.#LetTheWomenSpeak salutes Michelle one of the strongest Guyanese woman.

From FB
We will be having a wake for Michelle for the next 3 nights at our home, 133 Third Street Alexander Village. The funeral will be on Monday July 17, and there will be a viewing at our home on Monday from 10 am to 12 pm, and then she will be cremated at Ruimzegt at 2 p.m. Let us continue to celebrate her endearing qualities and generous, caring nature as we wait to pay our last respects.
My deepest sympathy to Gerhard and family this will be hard for him and his son.
I met the them once in Toronto at a GNI get together. Very sad. May her soul rest in peace.
Still hard to believe such a vibrant gem is gone.

Even though we should learn from the passing of a vibrant person, some people continue to dwell on animosity, that could have severe consequences. Forgiveness is an action to heal relationships.
We should continue our prayers for Gerhard and their son.
Gerhard my deepest condolences to you and your son and family. .this pain is unbelievable. . I m going through it right now first hand.. ppl say it get better everyday. Well three months ago I hit rock bottom and still trying to get up and face life.. the fact of the matter grief and at your pace.. the acceptance and peace will come.. it will then it goes and come again and again. But i m sure you do not want to see her suffer anymore.. as some one said to me why do you want your mom to stay alive for you to see her suffer? They are right ..life is like four seasons..i pray you find comfort .. my found mine with taking time off and reflecting on the good times..but must say it is very difficult. Take care and bless
Amber
Sorry to hear that you mom gone to the great beyond .
Sorry to hear about your mom Ambi. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs. I was talking to one of my former co-workers yesterday and she was reflecting on how they were by my in-laws less than two weeks before my mother-in-law passed away and how much life she and my father-in-law had only for both of them to leave us three weeks apart. I wouldn't try to tell you that it will get easier but I would be lying. I do pray that you get the strength to deal with it.
Awww guys thanks a lot but this thread is about Gerhard. .. Kaz sorry abt your loss..
My sincere condolences G.
Wishing Gerhard, wife and family best wishes for a speedy recovery
