Dear Sandi, Jan, Lynn & Jim:

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of the joyful times you spent together. Those memories of your Mom & Dad and Mickey JR...all of you together growing up, those are all embedded in your minds and in your hearts and there they will be with you forever. I know the memories have come to my mind of both your parents and of mine too, all of us together at times...lots of fun.

May God comfort all of you during this time.

Love,

Betty & Family

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your dad. Uncle Mickey was one of the great fun-loving relatives who always was willing to share a story. He will be missed. Enjoy the memories you have with him.

Words cannot tell you how truly sad I am for all of you. Your dad was one of the "nice guys". On the other hand, think of the joy he must be experiencing being with his wonderful wife and family (and the sing along they're having). My condolences and love to all of you.

Love, Marilou
