Mickey, Rest
In Peace
She was just the best grandma ever . But I know she is in heaven with jesus , grandpa and dad .
Rest in peace Aunt Mickey. I have many fond memories beginning with the early years on Mt. Overlook and the times spent together with our families. Enjoy your rewards in Heaven!
We are so sorry for the passing of our Aunt Mickey, and the sadness that this brings. But, we are so glad she is singing with Jesus and no longer in pain. We have so many memories and cherish the times we had together with family. She always smiled and made us laugh!
May you have the “peace of God” knowing she’ll exchange that beautiful red hat for a crown! As a former student, I too, remember her smile, voice and kindness.
I feel blessed to be able to call you Grandma. You truly will be missed. May God surround our family with peace and love.
Mickey was always an inspiration with her energy and tireless service to others. She was enjoyable to be around, and I know she’s enjoying being in the presence of Jesus.
Mickey I had only had the pleasure of meeting you one time! And I knew right away what a wonderful person you were! Sherry always told me about you. What wonderful memories you have left.
Sherry, I’m so so sorry. I am so glad you guys were able to move there to be closer to your Mom. I say you were Blessed to spend so much time with Mickey, but she was Blessed to have such a wonderful and caring daughter! Our prayers are with you Sherry and the rest of your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with this family during this difficult time. She was pure joy and sunshine to be around. Heaven has gained such a special angel.
