Dear Suzanne, David and Danny,
My condolences to all of you on the loss of your wonderful husband, dad and brother. I'm sure I've known Mickey longer than anyone who is not a relative. In fact, I've known the Waterman family since the late 1940s in Minneapolis. We will all miss this wonderful man. May his memory be for a blessing.

Dearest Suzanne, David & Danny,

We will never really be without Mickey if we all remember this special thought, "If you continue to love the one you lose, you never lose the one you love."

Mickey considered family before all else and now it is our turn to maintain the traditions he valued so deeply.

We send our love and support for this difficult time in hopes that your tomorrows will be blessed with only the most beautiful of memories.

Dear Suzanne, David and Danny,

An excellent description of the cousin that I knew! Mickey was so all about family. The only thing missing was any mention of his accordion performances in the good ole days of family gatherings. :)

In Scottsdale last night, a gathering of Dee Dee, Dawn, Diane S. and me. Mickey was included in our conversation of good and funny memories. It was a great reunion!

May my cousin, Mickey, be at peace now -- and may his memory be for a blessing.

Love,
Cousin Diane (Wasserman-Drell)
