Dear Lahey Family,
People are always entering and leaving our lives everyday. Then there are people, who no matter where they are, or where they go, stay in our hearts forever. That's the kind of person Mick was. Whenever anyone of us does something kind, lends a helping hand, or listens with our heart, he will be with us. I hope none of us will ever forget how blessed we all were to have Mick in our lives.
With Love and Sympathy,
Ken & Chris Farrell
