Not sure what to say?

Not a day goes by that I don´t miss you slick Mick! I sure wished you were here right now because I could use a friend! You were one of a kind and I´ll never forget you!

Still missing you every day slick Mick! I will never forget you as long as I live!

It's been several weeks now and I miss Mickey more than ever. I have never felt such a void in my life like I do now. Thanks for the memories Mickey and I will never forget you. To the Child's family, I know he loved you all very much and I hope you all are doing ok, Love Don Juan.

Betty,
I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with you and your family at this time.

Sorry for your loss.

Even though I do not remember Mickey all that well, my sincere condolences go out to his family.

Wayne I was so saddened to here of Mickey's passing. May God give you and your family the peace and comfort you need to face these saddened days. Mickey was so full of life and fun to be around. I pray that God will just lift up your whole family through it all. My Prayers are with you and your family, and I believe God must have had a bigger plan for Mickey to have taken him home at such a young age. Wayne may God Bless You and your family Always.

~Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear~
My prayers are with you all~
~Love, Wendy
