Mickey on her birthday several years ago!
Jackie Trudel-Lane
April 18, 2010
I am beyond being able to write much at this moment....I am grieving so much I could die!!!! Mickey was one of my VERY BEST friends....She and I knew each other since the early 70's....I believe we met around 1971.....It was instant “FUN” with Mickey.....anything that came out of her darling mouth, was like going to a carnival!!! I loved and will always love Mickey with all my heart. A couple of summers ago, I had the honor in taking her almost every day to the hospital for her daily treatments. I must admit, Mickey and I had the best time at the hospital.....only the people who really know Mickey will understand what I am talking about....When she and I went to Walmart, she did not care how many racks of clothes got in her way.....she was in the electric seat roaming the stores and everyone had to watch out when Mickey was near....God, she was so much fun.....She even ran over me....I am laughing and crying as I write this. I could tell you millions of stories about Mickey. When I would visit her at her last stay at Sentara Virginia Beach Hospital, I was so concerned for her. Half the time I don't believe she remembered me there....But, suddenly she sounded so great and was so excited about the upcoming party. I can not believe she past away. Because when I would talk to her on the phone at her recent rehabilitation center, she sounded WONDERFUL. She and I laughed liked we use to. I can not believe I will never hear her voice ever again. And what a “voice” she had. :O)~ Her love for her family was so thrilling for me to hear.....I love you Mickey.....I will see you one day.....Hopefully, heaven has a “Jolly Ox”!!!! :O) (an inside joke between Mickey and I) And Marcie, I love you and your family. Watching you grow has been a delight....knowing your mother has been an honor. Mickey, rest in peace my best friend and pal....God Bless you.....With all of my Love, Jackie Trudel-Lane, and Jimmy Lane and Kimberly Lane-Ellis

My mom was Mickey's roommate in Lake Taylor. I went to pick mom up on Tuesday as she was coming home and Mickey was not there. All I was told was she went to the hospital. My mom left the that morning and I regret she never had the opportunity to say Bye Bye to her new found friend. Mickey watched over my mother like an angel. I cannot imagine what the 3 weeks in Lake Taylor would of been like without her. Marcie I know your mother loved you dearly, and we were really hoping to continue the friendship. I am truly shocked by this sudden event and cannot even imagine what you and your family are going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
