Amanda,
I didn't know your Dad personally but I am saddened by your loss, I know you had a great relationship with Him.

Amanda, Kathryn, Kalvin, you will never be without Mike for each one of you have a part of him in you. From the time you were born Amanda, you were the light in his eyes, you gave him purpose in this world. He knew you would always be there and could count on you to do the right thing. I am sorry for the greif it causes to all who loved him, and grateful for all the lives he touched while here. I know he will be missed, but now he is truly at peace no pain no worries no stress. RIP Mike because now your journey is everlasting. RaeDean Crosby

It is easy to imagine Mike training world class bird dogs. It takes consistency, perserverance and an occasional serious lesson in proper behavior. Mike was like that in HS. It is hard to believe he is gone this soon. Please accept my condolences.
