Sue, I'm very sorry to hear about your father. In our generation, as we lose a parent, we become the front line for our families. As we mourn, we also accept new responsibilities. I hope your good memories make this transition easier.

Grew up with Mickey and always enjoyed his company. He had a great sense of humor. Enjoyed knowing him and his brothers Ed and Sonny.

We will miss you so much. We will always remember all the fun times we had together and all the smiles you brought to everyones face with the jokes you would tell. We will keep all the memories we have of you close to our hearts and will never forget you.
Love always,
