Mickey, I'm so sorry to hear about John. My thoughts are with you. I would think about you and the kids every once in a while - back when I used to babysit them. To think how the time has passed is amazing. Take care.

Daddy, I will miss you always, but I know you are in heaven looking down on me and my family. I will miss our Tuesdays together, I so looked forward to that special time we spent just being with each other. My heart is heavy but I know you would want me to go on and remember the wonderful times we had together. You were the perfect dad. I will love you always, Sharon

Sharon,
I am so sorry for the death of your father. My Dad passed away five years ago and I still think of him often. You may not remember me. I went to Olympic Jr. College with you and we kept in touch briefly after that. Hope you are doing well. Would love to hear from you sometime.

Many fond memories of our golf group at Woodhaven, and the best salmon griller ever! We feel as if a part of us is now gone, but we know that you are strong, Mickey, and our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Our love,
Bonnie and Jim Cavan
