To the family of Mickey may you find some comfort in these words:



Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following that path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard him call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day.

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasked left undone must stay that way.

I found peace at close of day.

If my parting has left a void.

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.

Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My lifes been full,I've savored much.

Good friends, Good times,

A loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,

Don't lenghten it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me,

GOD WANTED ME NOW:

HE SET ME FREE.
