My sincere condolences to your family. Mickey and Harold and most of the Thompson family was a second family to my Mom, Ruth Valerio. Mom loved Mickey like a sister. I think back often to the VOQ stories Mom would share with me. I know you all will miss Mickey like I miss Mom. God Bless you.

Aunt Mickey was a one of a kind and a very special person to me (and my favorite Aunt). I will miss her greatly but am grateful for all of the time I got to spend with her when I was younger.
