Dear Renee and family,
I am so sorry about Mickey's passing. For about ten years of my life I had the fortune of experiencing his depth and kindness. I always felt the ultimate truth about you and Mickey is that in each other, each of you found yourself, you were such a wonderful blend.
Wishing you well in this difficult time. Chuck Pankratz
