In his life he touched many people. He married my daughter, Jorja, forty-four years ago and life hasn’t been the same since. He was the most generous man in the world and gave so many so much. His funeral was a gala funeral, a celebration of Michael’s life. The “wake,” now called visitation, was at the funeral home where hundreds of people streamed through for two hours. Gorgeous flowers were lining the walls. Granddaughter Jane had digitally arranged photos in collages which were placed around the room. At the end of the casket was the portrait of Michael and his barn cat. The cat had been left on his doorstep – he was so delighted that someone had given him a present. In Oxford, funeral day dawned, sunny and a hundred degrees. Everyone gathered at daughter Farrah’s house, had a bite to eat and drink, and then walked to the Presbyterian Church, through the bricked courtyard-garden to the back room of the church. Then, pallbearers first and family second streamed into the stained glass windowed cathedral-like edifice. The preacher was waiting in his black and purple robes, bespeckled horned rimmed glasses, every hair in place, looking like he stepped out of a movie set. Later he changed into a white summer suit with a yellow tie. Friends and members of the family gave tributes to Michael. Then the preacher spoke the most beautiful eulogy ever heard. After the funeral, the people walked to Michael’s club for lunch at the club that Michael had created. This was Michael’s last hurrah! He fed his friends one more time. Those who were able then walked to the cemetery where Michael was interred in my Aunt Maxie’s plot in the ancient section of the cemetery. His grave is next to the Falkner plot on the side of the hill where Michael will wait until Judgement Day. Michael was wonderful and unique and one of a kind. He changed the lives of lots of people and he was one of the greatest son-in-laws that ever was. P.S. – Memorial squares are planned to be laid at the museum for several people. The squares are to be in concrete which we are ordering soon. If you wish to give a memorial, please call the museum at 662 252-3669. Memorials are planned for Helene Doxey, Jack Beck, Mike Durham, Ray Smithers, Agnes Foster, Ethel Coleman, and Michael Lynn. The squares costs $50 each and are tax deductible. |
