We would like to take this time to
address all of you here and everyone around the world that has shown their
support and expressed their condolences during this difficult time. We want
you all to know that in spite of the recent tragedy that claimed the lives of
our parents Dr. Myles and Ruth Munroe, our uncle Dr. Richard Pinder, our
chief pilot Captain Stanley Thurston, our first officer Frahkan Cooper, our
youth pastors Lavard and Radel Parks, their son Johanan Parks and their
unborn child and our dear friend Diego DeSantiago, we all have comfort in
knowing that God is in control.
We know there are many questions as to how or
why something like this would be allowed to happen to such great individuals,
but yet still God is in control.
The past few days have been the most
difficult times for my sister and I, our family and all of those affected by
this loss. We are all saddened by this tragic event but we are
comforted and encouraged by the outpouring of love and support we have
received from everyone around the country and from those around the world at
large. We want to thank everyone that has called, emailed, messaged or gave
words of encouragement; we are truly grateful.
We would like to make it known that
although we are all grieving our losses and are deeply saddened by this
tragic event, we have never been nor will we ever feel hopeless. There is no
question in our hearts that the spirits of the nine persons whose lives were
taken are now resting with our Heavenly Father. We rejoice for we know they
are in a better place watching over all of us and rejoicing amongst the
heavenly angels.
We will not allow death to claim any
victory, but we celebrate the life and legacy of each individual. This
tragedy does not mark the end; the end of life, the end of a vision, the end
of a journey, nor the end of a purpose , but it marks the new beginning of an
era. An era of a new generation that will carry on the vision and legacy of
our father and mother and of each individual whose life was lost so
unexpectedly.
So let’s not mourn their deaths but
let’s celebrate their lives and find joy in knowing that although God may not
explain himself, he will reveal himself. In the words of our father,
"The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a
purpose." We know there is a greater purpose in all of this and we are
now the vessels for this new vision and legacy to be carried on.
With Grateful Hearts,
Myles Munroe Jr., Charisa M. Munroe
& Family
