Foldy, I wish I had waited when you said you were searching for Michael’s photo - your pic of him and the meme you made from it are wonderful and would have been more than perfect for his memorial post!

For some reason I felt I had to ‘rip the bandaid off’ and post right then - as if it was unbearable to have posting that stuff hanging over my head.

Thank you for blessing us with both images- LOVE that MEANINGFUL, BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL meme! I’m going to print them off as keepsakes.

Thanks, mQd. #FLYBAGSTERFLY# was a April 2020 mash-up in MS PAINT to highlight a suspension of the Oracle. Thanks to encouragement from Michael and [you] others, I then started using Gimp.

Now as Michael was true to himself, I quickly added Michael a 'transparent' rising with the lamps; indicative of who he was.

Thank-you mQd, for the authentic and highly peronalized eulogy; I feel I have the 'rest of the story' of a life lived fully and forthrightly.

What you fashioned, RN, was so beautifully constructed it has elicited a response I could not imagine. From shakespeare to apt metaphors, et. al., it has been colorfully vivid.

So much grace and respect has been shown by those who loved Michael
along with those who sparred relentlessly with him...
the hint of legend.

Vanity sauce:
Some of us know and are close to incomparable people, who during intimate moments, will tell you everyone in their town and social circles either loves them or hates them (50/50) for various reasons.

Then, at their end, their loss, when you see who attends their funeral; we see them all. Friend and foe paying respects with unmatched class. Unconditionally stunning.

Moments from death, I now see myself thinking "I wish I had been half as courageous as Bagster". #noregrets

Lastly a blessing. Michael was not pharisaical. May Gods grace be extended liberally to Michael; counting him righteous.

Bags: See there? It didn't sting too much! Good man! Love, Foldy.
