My deepest condolences for the family. I am deeply sorry for the loss of Micki. For the short time I knew her, she was always full of spirit and lived life to the fullest. She was very creative. May she be enjoying the joys of Heaven and be surrounded by the love of the Heavenly Angels.

Gene, Jan, Tracey, Jeff, Pal,
Mick possessed a spirit, a capacity for love, a joy of life, and a kindness that few will ever see, let alone experience first hand as we all have. I have never been so touched by another person, and don't expect I ever will again. I am so grateful for having been a part of her life, if even for a relatively short time and I am equally grateful for the kindness and acceptance you all offered me as family and friends. My memories of Mick are so vivid and so special as though they happened just yesterday. And while she suffered greatly, my thoughts of her are always about the wonderful, special times with her; her cute smile, her sweetness, her happy laugh, and her amazing creativity and sense of humor. She had the depth and worldly understanding of a great author, yet she delighted in the touch of a fuzzy puppy or the grin of a child. My prayer for all of you is that these and the many wonderful times with Mick are what you carry in your heart and that they bring you comfort and put a smile on your face. We are all so fortunate to have had her grace our lives. Mick, I miss you so badly, but I rejoice in knowing that you are now in a better place and will never suffer again. Please watch over us and shed your love on our world. My love for you is unending. Thank you.

I pictured the Lord's arms welcoming Micki and His arms around you for comfort and strength. May He be your rock and refuge.

We don't even know you, but our 2 granchildren ages 6 & 7 both suffer from Crohn's disease. Our 7 year old grandaughter Jordanne has been ill since the age of 2 and is considered terminal and not a candidate for surgery. After 41 chemo treatments, she now is connected to a IV pump that feeds her through a J tube. You truly had a brave daughter to fight such a battle for so many years. Believe me when I say our thoughts and prayers are with you; we have been told 3 times Jordanne would not make it. Heaven must truly be a wonderful place, because so many we love are there.

Dear Tracey and Jeff;
Thank you so much for the pleasure of knowing Micki. We are grateful for you allowing us into your family to befriend her, and we wish we could be there with you during this most difficult week.

To the Mynatt Family, our prayers are with you as you bid farewell to a wonderful daughter. Thank you for sharing her with Knoxville! She was a joy to know and we only wish her stay could have been healthier. She will brighten the Heavens...

For all of us who had the honor of knowing and loving her,

I dont think there is anyone who has touched so many lives as my big sister. She knew all the right things to say when things were tough and she had so much strength when so many of us did not.
I miss you Sissy....and I love you more than any little brother could ever love his big sister.
