I have great memories of my Uncle Mickey growing up which doesn't seem all that long ago. When you look back so much time has gone by so fast. We all grow up, have kids and households to take care of and family sometimes is taken for granted. I'll miss seeing you drive down the road in the big black truck wearing your ball cap which I still catch myself looking for. I love and miss you very much Uncle Mickey.
William and Michelle God has given you great strength to get through this time, but we are all very blessed to have had Mickey in our lives. Love you both and am here for you. Your cousin Tina
To my Dad whom I know had alot of great memories growing up with his brother Mickey. Those can never be replaced and will be cherished may this time be where you and Linda hold on to all the good times.

Michelle and William,
I am so proud of you both in the way you are handling all of this. I know your dad would be also. Your Dad and I had two of the most precious children in the world. If I had one wish, it would be to take all the hurt away. Mom will always be here for you to help you get through this. XOXO

Michelle & Will,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you & your family. I know how much your daddy ment to you both & I know how special you both were to him. When I would see Mickey in passing, we would talk about all the kids & grand kids. His grand kids ment the world to him as does my grand baby to me. His face would light up everytime he would talk about the girls. Will, your dad was proud of the man that you had become mostly because how you loved your girls. Michelle, you were always the apple of your daddy's eye & he was so proud of you.
God Bless You All,
Connie Cook & Family

William, Michelle, and Linda, You are in our thoughts and prayers. What a shock. So many hours we spent fishin', going to little league games, feeding calves, and just hanging out. Our hearts will forever be missing someone very special and true. Mickey once told me that I was the only girl he had ever seen who looked good in hair curlers. Wasn't he SO honest ? Nonetheless he is with his Momma and Daddy, Aunt
Willodean and Uncle Bill and has seen the face of Jesus. He is in such a better place. We grieve because we miss him but we will see him again and as Mrs Spivey would say, "We'll have a Hallelujah Time". God Bless and know that hearts and prayers are with you from all around.
He is just a "Stone" away
Peace and Love.

Time heals all wounds, memories make you live, love, and laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time in your life. Michelle, you were always the apple in your daddy's eye. Will you were always his tough little man. Never let the memories die, as the memories you have and share with each other will help your hearts to heal!!! Mickey was always there at ball games, cheer swim parties, to even trying to help each child be the best that they could be, and do the right thing. Mickey sure loved his family more then anything! My heart breaks for each of you. May God bless each of you that shared a moment in life with Mickey!
