In a time when gay men couldn“t marry, Michael and I were. I never loved anyone as hard and fully as the fine man Michael was. We fell apart but I would never say our love died, just that our priorities changed. Finding this out today hurts more than I can say. 13 Jan 2022

I always loved Mike. I knew him many years ago while I was married to his cousin, Bobby Gay. Mike was always so kind to me.
My condolences for his Mother, Sister and the Gay family members.
Always,
Kay (Gay) Augustson
