Dear Cousins,
Please know I am sadden to hear of the passing of Uncle Mickey; he was a wonderful person who touched many lives. I know he will surely be missed by everyone. I also know that there are so many of our family members who will be so happy to be reunited with him in his new space, especially my mom and dad. He created so many beautiful memories with everyone he encountered; we were all so blessed to have him in this world.
After my mom left I alway felt that Tio would forever be around; he had that good strong Gonzales blood. Surely Uncle Mickey had a true affinity to be one of the last great most prolific individual´s of Grandma Jovita and Grandpa Johnny´s union and posterity. He definitely achieved everything life had to offer in this world to ensure his family would continue on with great strength and resilience.
As his passing is very sad, we can all feel comforted in remembrances of his warm smile, wonderful laugh, funny humor, great memories, true love of life and warm gentle spirit. Please know you have our love and prayers. I know he will be forever watching over all of you. I love you all, warmly, cousin Carol & family
