To my cousins - Sorry I am not able to make it to Belleville in memory of Aunt Mickey. But I want you to know that I have fond (though distant) memories of your mom. I remember kind eyes, a sweet smile, and her always making us feel comfortable. I think of her affectionately from time to time.

I love you so much. I will forever remember your warmth and kindness, and all of the joy that you have brought to our family. You were my strength and my rock in ways that you would have never known on Earth. Gain that knowledge now, with all wisdom and understanding, seated in Heavenly Places in Our God and Father in Our Lord Jesus Christ. You were an absolute true blessing and by far the most loving and inspirational person in this life that I have ever had the privilege of knowing on a true human basis. I am so proud to have called you my Grandmother. You were truly, and always will be, one of a kind .. and in my heart forever. May the Lord bless and keep you until the day in which we meet again. I love you, Grandma. - Jason
