This page is dedicated to the memory of my father Michael James Orkusz. Mike was born on December 25, 1931 and passed away on July 21, 1998 after a couragous battle against Cancer. Mike was a bison rancher which was his passion. Mike was laid to rest out on the highest hill on the ranch with his bison. It has been hard to carry on without you. But I know you walk beside me everyday. Not a day goes by that I wish you were here with me. I know that you are not suffering anymore and that it is better this way. Forever in my heart and always missing you. May you rest in peace.
Go Rest High On That Mountain
I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin"
Love for the Father and Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin"
Love for the Father and Son
The music on this page was the music played
during the memorial service and the words have
a very special meaning to me.
