To all the Saunders he will be missed dearly, our prayer's go out to all of you. I also played hockey and to see Mike on the ice always scared me. He would come down the ice like a bull in the china shop and the scary thing was I was on his team.

michael, my friend. It pains me deeply that i will not see you again. Growing up in the village and having you as a friend for 50 some years was rewarding for me. So many things we did growing up. I can't put into words how much I am going to miss you. I will always remember SKAGGS, the one guy you could always count on, he would always have your back no matter how difficult it was for him. I will pray for you and your family during this difficult time.
