Tribute to an Angel

I would like to bring to your attention a very inspiring, talented and courageous young French artist who gifted us with great musical performances selling over 1 million albums in France before passing away at the age of 23 from a genetic condition known as Cystic Fibrosis: his name Gregory Lemarchal. (13 May 1983 – 30 April 2007)
Not only does this disease result in a shortened life span of which he was aware, but it directly saps and affects the lungs as well as other vital organs. I have followed his efforts, performances (available on you tube) and challenges and was awed by his fortitude, his humility, gentleness and zest to live life to the fullest. This deadly disease did not stand in his way - he sang as if it did not exist, giving moving and soulful dynamic performances practically until his last months of life. This is a story of love defeating death!
His legacy is not only in the many images of a vibrant, handsome, loving and talented singer but also through the action of his loving parents and friends, the creation of a Foundation that promotes awareness, assistance and support for sufferers of this medical condition.
This is the story of a real man, a full man, a true unassuming being of Light. Warriors of Light come in many forms and always teach without teaching, they teach by Being.
While much of the world's press wastes its time on the frivolous activity of "celebrities" it is good to stop and celebrate those that really made a difference.
