Not sure what to say?

Mickey,

You touched my life because of Debbie, and I am grateful. I'll always remember your positive energy and zest for life. You also touched many people through my online diversity classes. Your message of acceptance planted seeds in the minds of many. You are missed.

Love, Lynnette

Mickey, you will always be our kids favorite uncle, and the sparkle and spirit of our family.
I will remember you always for the love and tolerance you showed to everyone you met. You were an inspiration for us to live life as if each day were your last. You let people know how you felt about almost everything and that is to be admired. You really knew how to have fun and were always the gracious host. You had a dress up wardrobe that a girl could die for, and sure did us proud on...

Uncle Mickey,
I'm sure you're having a fabulous time up there! Just make sure to save some fun for me, when I see you again.

Dearest Mickey,
I think of you most everyday, not with tears but with a smile. Having known you was a privlidge and having you for a big brother was an honor. I only hope that I can stand as tall and carry myself as well. I have learned so much from you as a role model. As I am now the big brother I will do my best to walk in your shoes. Although I draw the line at heels. I'm sure wherever you are you are large and in charge with plenty of laughs for every one. I can't wait to see...

Uncle Mickey Mouse,
I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to know how wonderful you are. Each time I'd seen you, your smile radiated across the room and smacked me in the face, forcing /my/ mouth to twitch into a grin. I'm not even sure what else to say, except that I love you so much, and I'm sure this goes without saying, but I will miss you until we meet again.
-Love
