Dear Michniak family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Rich was a very dear friend of my father. I remember our families visiting in the 70's. My mom and dad enjoyed a wonderful lunch with Marci and Rich just last week.
You are in my prayers.

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
I love you all so much and Uncle Mickey we miss you. I feel so blessed for the recent trip and the time we spent together.
Love you Always & Forever,
