In our Prayers, memories and conversations may we often recall our Friend. In our daily lives may we remember to laugh, and smile as Mickey did, making it possible for others to look at the positive, and to work to their deepest potentials.

Remember when you see the sun beams ... those are Angel "escalators" upon which Mickey rode.

I wish for his family endless Blessings, and Peace.
