Uncle Mickey, you are greatly loved and missed. I have so many great memories of you over the years. I always enjoyed our telephone conversations and you calling me up and saying "hey cowgirl, how's life in the country." You so looked forward to your visits here at our home and we loved having you. I will never forget you!! How you loved your coffee and you always brought me flowers!!! I think my most vivid childhood memorie was when you and Uncle Tommy where leaving for the war and coming back and how proud all of us were of the both of you. We were in the dining room of gradma and grandpa's at Foster and Harlem and I just remember you polishing your boots, while in uniform. I LOVE YOU, YOUR NIECE YVETTE XOXOXOX YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
