Michael & I became friends in the early 70's. The 80's & 90's were tough on all of "us". I hope his "crossing-over" was gentle. He was an esteemed steward of the Great Spirit & has now claimed the "promise" he earned. I'll always remember his side-splitting contagious laugh.
Composed for "Mikie":
Oh Woden's wind...across the mounds so high...where is eternity...where shall we lie...

Miss you buddy...may God wrap His wings of comfort around Cody & family,
BFF (wink) Clint Evans & Jerry Hays
