Not sure what to say?

To my Dad, I love you. To the folks who have been there with and for you I thank you. I don't know what I'm going to do w/o our weekly calls. May you soar on the wings of Eagles and always have the winds on your side. Thank you for all you gave me it was more than you knew. Pama KowabtemIn mine'

Mike has been my sponsor for almost 4 years. His words, love, wisdom & humor are still very much alive in my head and heart. He graciously, lovingly and wisely helped me walk through painful times. He was one of the oldtimers who literally helped save my life when I first came into Fremont in April 2002. To me, he's not gone, he's just in a place where we can't see him right now. His spirit is still very much present! I love you Mike.

Mike is a good man. As far back as I remember he has always been close to my family. Even recently, visiting my Mother you could almost bet he would be there. Mike will be missed.

fwiw Mike I'm hoping to sing at your memorial... the usual... I trust you're doing okay, and as they say in Kansas, "pama mine'": http://bit.ly/SYQgJ !

It was a pleasure to share a homegroup with Mike, even if he did call it the walk on water group ; )~ Michael, you will be missed and you will continue to be loved.

Michael, your sarcasm and humor made a difference in many of my worst days. When you opened your heart and shared with me, it touched me deeply. Mostly, I will miss coming into the meeting through the front door, standing behind you and sticking my finger in your ear... and you would say "Vittles!" Another nick name I'll wear proudly... because it came from you. Travel Well My Friend... and enjoy the Big Meeting in the Sky.
Love, Jeanne

Mike, we all loved you--whether you liked it or not! And we know you're much more comfortable now, even though we do miss you.

I thought I posted earlier today, but it's not showing. Mike was one of the first people I got to know when I had around 60 days of sobriety. I will miss him, but I look forward to seeing him at the Big Potluck in the Sky! Love you!

I love you, Mike. I'll always remember you. Known you for 21 years now and you taught me a lot about myself at Fremont. God bless you and may you rest in peace. xoxoxoxoxo
