Dear Dad,
I can't even begin to tell you all the great memories I have of you when I was growing up. You have been the best father anyone could ask for. I miss you terribly right now. The thought of you being with mom and in a wonderful place makes it a little easier. Thank you for all you've done for me Dad. I love you with all my heart. Give mom a BiG hug for me too. And save me a good seat next to you both. Love, Your daughter, Vicky

Although we didn't get to see each other very often - since we lived on opposite coasts, I remember fondly our visits in Marshall. I am so glad that we were able to talk and visit on Skype the past few years. Rest in peace Uncle Micky with your beloved Betty.
