Dad, It would have been your birthday yesterday and you would have been 71. I wish I could have spent yesterday with you, I miss you. Bethy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad, I still grief for you as if you left only yesterday; I think about you all the time and see you in my dreams. I miss you so much and I'm so sorry I wasn't a better daughter for you because you were a great Dad and I let you down. I wish you were here right now so I could hug you and tell you how much I love you and have always loved you and how painful it is not to have you here anymore. I've heard it said that we never realy die and so maybe you're still around some place; I hope with all my soul that you're at peace and that we get to see each other again one day with all my love Bethy

Just checking in Mike,We still miss you and hope your journey is one of peace/love and beauty. Your friends Graeme and Fiona

This is a great idea to have a place for remembering our brother and friend Mike. When I moved to the UK and first joined the Pow Wow Circle in 2005, he was one of the first people to welcome me, which made me feel very good. I remember, we had some good and long talks about anything. He always had a good joke on his lips, and he always encouraged people to live in peace and harmony and had always an open ear for everybody. He walked his talk. And he always spoke out his truth. His artwork, is amazing and with lots of details as well. Mike was one of the most beautiful and honest people I have met, and he will live on in my heart forever. I am sure he is looking from the other site, and making another joke. The elk-tooth necklace, which he gifted me at one of our visits at his place is now part of my traditional cloth (I don't like the word regalia)and so he is dancing with me in the sacred circles. On our next trip visiting family and tribal people we are going to plant some more trees for Mike. This will be in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and North Carolina. So he will be able to be with us in spirit at all these places, where he had - and has a home. Mike, I will never forget you and we will see each other on the other site. I love you, bro Lots of hugs and Love Tonya Hountingwolf

I love you and I miss you so much. I hope that yesterday we gave you the send off that you deserved and that I did you proud, as much as I am proud to be able to say you are my dad. Please check in on me from time to time and help me if I get lost along the paths I take. Love always Ben xx

I never knew Mike personaly but I knew him from the pow-wow's and have heard the words people speak of Mike and they are all words of love and respect for him, I wish I had know him as others do. Let evry one remember him the way he lived not the way he died. My respects and love to the family. Ray Lisney

Mike, you were and will always be in our thoughts and prayers, as are your family at this time may the Great Spirit be with you and your kin always. Alan and Angela Cloke

Mike was one of the first from the powwow scene to befriend Bob and I. He was one of the most generous and caring people I have ever known. I will miss him physically but he will remain forever in my heart.

This site is a wonderful idea Beth, i can see Mike crying right now saying something like i'm just a stupid old man i'm not worthy of this, as i always told him he was more than worthy! I remember him fondly and i know he's looking down from the stars at me laughing as he says hello pokey! i call him pinky and we would laugh together! Personally i think Mike will be greatly missed, happily remembered and always respected as an elder of the uk Powwows, most certainly by me. Deanna Shunkaha Wanagiwin

Mike, as one of the founding members of the powwow drum team 'the Crazy Drumstick Singers' you will always be singing with me and you will be in the hearts of all the 'Crazies' till we meet again on the powwow ground in the sky! Mitakyue Oyasin, Keith Lord
