I'm am so sorry for your loss. I knew Mickie and Vickie both. I took care of them both from time to time and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember our conversations and their stories and looking at pictures. Those are all memories now that I am blessed to have, and even more blessed to have been part of her and Vickie's lives. Prayers and I wish I knew sooner. Rest easy Mickie, you will always be a friend of mine and missed.

I did not know Mickie Maccabee, but my identical twin sister recently died. If her sister, Vickie needs, there is a support group at www.twinlesstwins.org.
The surviving twins really "get it" about losing a twin.
My condolences
