Mike gave the gifts of his hope, experience and strength tirelessly to all seekers for many years. He also shared his personal struggles and grief as he experienced them. This too helped many. His life was notable for its tremendous ups and devastating downs. He lived fearlessly and gave tirelessly. He is home now. Home and at peace.
