At the Dinner, after the funeral, Bernice asked the guest to introduce themselves. Each did telling how they met Mike and a little about Mike. The room had 4 separate groups that were connected to Mike: Family, Neighbors, Work (NOAH), and TBN. Through all the stories everyone could relate "Yep, that's exactly Mike."
When Mike's ex-boss talked I knew exactly what he was talking about when he said "Mike did not need supervision, just tell him what needed to be done and stand back."
Mike's family loving laughed about the life lessons they all learned, about working hard and helping people. Mike made a lasting impression on many people that will be passed on and make the world a better place to live.
We had a close tight group there from TBN: Harvey, Glenda, Kyle, Kathy, Scott, Brandi, Karen and myself. Bernice put Mikes's TBN tractor rock, that Harvey made for our get-together bridge project at the grave site. (see Harvey's pic above).
Here's a pic of the rocks in my FEL before we passed them out many years ago.
