Mickey was my sister, Mother, & friend. Lots & lots of good memories, she got me into reading. She worked at the library when she was young & took me on Sat.'s, it was heaven having access to all those books. It is hard to lose 2 sisters so close together, also Linda a few years ago. But I know they r with the Lord & r happy rejoicing with Mama & Daddy everyone else. Mickey knew I loved her & she loved me she told me everytime we talked. Goodbye mickey u may be gone but u will never be forgotten, always in my heart!!

Mickey was my aunt that i loved dearly. One of my fondest memories is as a little girl, she would let me braid her long red hair. It didnt matter that i couldnt braid good, she would still smile and say, dear you did such a good job. Well, my mama just passed away 3 months ago, and them two were very close and now her and mama are having a good time. Mama always worried that if Mickey went before her that she would be unable to attend her funeral, well mama did one better, she was there to welcome her home! Praise God for the glorious reunion we who are true children of God will have when our time here on this earth is over. One breathe from this life into eternity is the only thing seperating us. One day we will all meet our Savior face to face and Mickey met Him Saturday I said my goodbyes to her when she passed as i knew we would not be able to attend funeral. I love you Mickey and will see you in Heaven!
