Aunt Jean and Family,
I'm sorry to hear of Uncle Mickey's passing. I can remember Uncle Mickey stopping by Grandma and Grandpa's farm and having homemade bread, chatting at their kitchen table. I also think of our many trips to visit your family and how we always felt welcome in your home.
My daughter Candice came to visit when she was about 4 years old, Uncle Mickey gave her a foot stool that he had made so she could stand on it and help make bread with her great grandma. It's one of many fond memories that I have of Uncle Mickey.
Our thoughts and prays are with you and your family.
