Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the La Casa Bonita "family."While you can never "get over" this, with God's help and with the love and respect of your many friends and family, you will get through it.

Mickey and I worked together as pipe fitters. We would drive to Scottsboro to work at the nuclear power plant. He was so much fun to be around.
May God comfort you with his love.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
In Spirit...
