Thomas Reed Kalikiano Flierl

I’m writing this with a heavy heart and from words from a grieving mother.

“ On February 28th , Heaven gained a beautiful and amazing man. Thomas Reed Kalikiano Flierl flew home to the sky to be with his lord savior. He was a brilliant, beautiful, talented 27 year old who had so much heart and so much love to give , the world just couldn’t keep up with his amazing energy. He will always be here and be guiding me(Erika) everyday.

“Suffering holds within it a hidden,

transformative treasure,

an unrecognized gem.

Jesus demonstrates how to suffer

in how He walks from Gethsemane

to Golgotha.

Then, in the Word of the Cross,

He raises Suffering to a

Redemptive superpower.

Only if we give assent to uniting our

imperfect suffering to Jesus’

perfect offering can we open

to the superpower

Redemptive Suffering contains

and alter the eternal destiny

of those towards

whom we unleash love, by offering

our suffering for them”
