Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. KORBAN FUNERAL CHAPEL 204-956-2193 www.korbanchapel.com

My sincere condolences to Lucy and family. My memory of Mike is that he was always there to help a neighbour in need. When my husband passed away Mike was extremely helpful in helping me look after my yard and also assisted with some house renovations. Mike was very friendly and was always great at giving advice when one asked for his opinion. I shall always remember Mike as being very kind to everyone and a wonderful neighbour. My blessings to all of Mike's family, Irene Puloski - Posted by: Irene Puloski (neighbour) on: Feb 10, 2018

Sending you all condolences for your loss. I only had a couple of experiences with Michael over the years, but the things that stood out to me were, his love for family and his closeness to each of them, his warm smile and big heart and his passion for his canaries. It doesn't take much time to see the warmth of a man like Mike. His light shone brightly. God Bless you all. - Posted by: Susanne and John Cunningham (friend of family) on: Feb 07, 2018
