Angels Wings
You were taken away on angel wings
As the harps were played and everyone sings
Some say that it was just your turn
It's a lesson in life we all must learn
Family and friends were all gathered there
To give their strength, to show they care
We all have versions of where you've gone
Our only agreement is, you're not alone
I will take this time to say goodbye
I will be strong , as I watch the sky
Every time I hear the wind as it sings
I will think of you riding on Angels wings

Mike I can't believe you are gone. We were supposed to pick up our discussion at the Tinker Reunion. I know you are at peace with your Mama and Dad.
To the family, I pray your memories are sweet and will hold you until you see Mike again.
