May the road rise to meet you.May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields.And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man you will see not only abundant like all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.
Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are fill of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn’t to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. What is to be learned?
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. LIFE IS ETERNAL.
I’ll always love and remember you ‘biker man’

My best friend, friends like you are hard to find and people like you don’t exist (you were one of a kind). I already miss you terribly and suspect I’ll continue to miss you until we meet again. Not sure the brand of motorcycles produced in Heaven, but reserve me one like the one you get and we will go for a ride someday soon. LOVE YOU MIKE
Janet Coppock-Davis
Ginger, saddened to hear of the loss of your husband. Will keep you in prayer.
David Magriplis
Dear Mike, if ever a little brother looked up and admired a big brother that would be me. You were everything I wanted to grow up to be. You were brave and humble, kind and generous and full of love. When it’s my time please come get me brother, I will love you forever. To all my family I’m so sorry for this loss. May we hold on to the love Mike had for us and us for him. May we be wrapped in God’s love and tenderness in this time of sadness.
Jerry Suttle
The one thing I will always remember about Mike is that he would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. His was a very forgiving nature and a true zest for life. I will always carry the guilt of not keeping in touch with such a true friend. Condolences to his family and all who shared his life.
Jeri Suttle
To the wonderful man without a frown. May the winds blow kindly and the sun always shine warm on your face.
He will be missed by many. Condolences to all of his family.

So long Brother. You will always be in my heart as a strong, couragous loving man. RIDE ON MIKE …. SEE YA ON THE OTHER SIDE.

We were so shocked to hear of Bonnie’s passing. The younger ones should not have to go before us older ones. Of course we all go in God’s appointed time.
Deepest Sympathy goes out to Mildred and the rest of the family.
