Guy Porter — Bodhivastu In Memory of Guy Porter MAR. 04. 1958 - FEB. 24. 2024 Written by Lama Rangbar • 02/26/2024“As Buddhists we always try to understand impermanence deeply and not just intellectually. Every day we recall impermanence in our practice. But we still cling to our wishful and even false hopes of everyth...

I am so sorry to inform Guy's Facebook Posse that on 2/24/24 Guy was in a horrific car accident that he did not survive.

Medical professionals are still working to see if the accident was medically related and the OFFICIAL accident report may not be received for weeks.

Yesterday was a tough day because it would have been his 66th birthday. Lama Rangbar guided me step by step through the toughest few days, made sure that Guy was on the right path AND gave us a suggestion for celebrating Guy's birthday yesterday.

Rather than a funeral Guy (aka Bob) wanted to have a celebration of life which will be held this summer.

If you are interested in attending please PM Guy's account with your name, email and phone number.

I will update his page as I can with photos, Guy-isms and the exact cause of his death as they are relayed to me.

I want to thank everyone who has called, sent a card, posted.....he would be SO grateful and I am too!

From Congresswoman Ann Wagner:
As an Army Mom and the daughter of a Korean War veteran, I know the sacrifices our servicemembers and their families make to defend our country and keep us safe. That’s why it has always been one of my top priorities to ensure our veterans and military families receive the care and support they need both during and after their time in the Armed Forces. Last week, I was proud to vote in favor of next year’s funding bill for the Department of Veterans Affairs and military construction projects. This bill will ensure that all veterans benefits and health care programs will be fully funded, including newly authorized medical services for those exposed to toxic burn pits. Additionally, this legislation invests in the development and renovation of military barracks, child development centers, and other quality-of-life improvements for the brave men and women currently serving.

If you are a veteran and need assistance with VA health care or other veterans benefits, please know you can always contact my office for help at (636) 779-5449 or at my website here .
