Shock and sadness. Mick was a favorite cousin of Jons, and once I met him, I knew why. He was a supportive, caring, thoughtful man with a wonderful twinkle in his eye and a great sense of fun. My heartfelt sympathy to you, Laura, and all the family.

Special memories of working with Mick have flooded my memory for the last few days.
Planning projects, working side by side, celebrating successful completions…. These were all great days in my lifetime. I hope they were in his.

His smile was contagious
His deeds were self-less
His awe of the world was innocent
His enthusiasm was inspiring

My heart goes out to his family
I feel honored to have been his friend.

The sun seems a bit less bright now. Mick was such a good friend to our family. he always had a smile and a ready handshake and seemed genuinely glad to see you. He respected his elders and talked often of how much he missed our Dad and his own. He had a quiet way about him and taught you about what he was doing if he'd come out to make repairs. He'd show you how stuff worked and explained what he was doing. You could learn a lot just being around the man. His kind nature was always apparent and he will be truly missed by this family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I considered Mick a good friend and family member. As a former soldier he served his country with Honor. As a former soldier I respect his sacrifice perhaps more than the protected ever can. I will miss him; the world is somewhat diminished with his passing. My family will keep his memory.
