    We were saddened to learn of Mike’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. The last time we saw Mike was at McDonalds and he was looking forward to going deer hunting with you, Diana. We did not learn of his passing until the day after his funeral otherwise we would have been there to share in the service to celebrate his life. May God bring peace and healing to your aching hearts.

    Marie(Mike’s sister) and family of Mike Gooselaw – I’m not sure if you will understand who I am, but I was a classmate of Mike’s in Humboldt and I considered him a very good friend. Leona told me of his passing and I feel so bad. In reading his life story it seems like he had a very good life. I will remember him for his unfailing kindness to me and to everyone. He had a heart of gold. Please accept my sincere sympathy. He will be missed by all who knew him.
