Mike, what a gift and blessing you brought to my life and so many others. I so enjoyed our friendship and interlinking lives of music
we both shared. I have endless fond and joyous memories of our time we shared with each other and soe many friends
and musicians. My mind boggles from the endless streaming memories I am having from all the bands I was in that you booked
and haging out talking about reality and love and human condition and of course music. You booked and came to most gigs
from all the bands I played in. That made it so much better and made all of us feel cared for. We all loved you!
Thank you for all the laughter we shared! How wonderful How wonderous the love! I am so blessed!! God be with you... Always in my heart! Jerry D.

Hey, Mike: I know that you are looking down on us. Keep the Big Guy on my side if you don't mind. You were an inspitation
to me in many, many areas of weakness in my walk with my and your Lord Jesus Christ. I was always too quick to condemn,
get angry, to have contempt for those that I thought stupid, etc. You always showed me the heart of Christ when it came to
these things. You are only one of two guys that I could talk to for a long time and laugh, cry, get serious or just go over the
sports of the day. Thanks for all that. It was great to have you hear as a friend. You are one of those men that I truly loved.
Mike, you loved your God. You called to Him as a young boy...and in the trenches & bushes in Viet Nam. You called on Him and surrendered your heart when all seemed to be falling down around you. And you worshipped Him with all your heart when you knew you had only days left on this earth. You are worshipping him at His feet now. That makes me smile. I miss you. I appreciate all you have done for me...given me...especially my children. I will be there in just a blink of an eye, my friend. You willl always be with me. I love you, Kath
