Dear Cindy, Carole and Paul Jr.,
I have such wonderful memories of our family. There were so many special times spent together at Grandmother and Granddaddy's with Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Uncle Paul loved to tease us all and I always think of him with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face.
I am sorry we were not able to be with you physically but please know that we are there with you in spirit and in our hearts.
Love,
Kay

Dear Cousins Cindy, Carole and Paul Jr.,
I am so sorry about your Dad's passing. Losing a parent is so difficult. Would you believe that I was just thinking of Uncle Paul several days ago? I have a picture of him, Nanny and Daddy together on my dresser. I have such good memories of the days at Nanny's when we were kids. We should make a point to get together and share those memories with each other and our kids.
after all, there aren't too many Mickles around that I know of. We should pass it down.
Much love,
Allison

Dear Cindy, Carole and Paul Jr.,
I am so sorry about Uncle Paul. I remember seeing him last at Daddy's service in 2000 and he looked really good, different from Daddy yet so much like him too! I have wonderful memories of times spent with you all when we were children and I always think of Uncle Paul with a cigar in his mouth and a smile on his face.
I'm so sorry we were not able to come to the service. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Ross
