Jim and Mickie were our best friends. Lee and I did many parties, out to dinner: Panos, Bob Evans, Brown Derby and more with them. Lee met Jim at Halle's, both were hairdressers. Jim went on to be a pipefitter. We played cards at their house. We brought our baby Todd with us. He slept there. Mickie always had chips and dip. We all went to Vegas twice, fun times. Jim and Lee were complete opposites, but remained friends for five decades.

Aunt Mickey,
I was so sorry to hear of your passing. I have only fond memories of you and Uncle Jimmy. I know your daughters Diane and Linda took excellent care of you and I was glad you had such a large family of grandchildren and great grandchildren. You were loved. I am glad you'll be reunited with Jeannie and your beloved Jim. You and your family will be remembered in my prayers.
Until we meet again,

Beautiful photo of you and dad. I love you both, Linda.
Mom, I thank you for never giving up on your family for staying with us, though your childhood was difficult. The one thing I always remembered because dad‘s name was James, when the family would go out and it was time to go home you would say, HOME, James or when dad said well Mick, you did it again it was a great dinner, and then he would say to one of us girls, hey hon, would you get me the peanut butter, he would always have peanut butter on bread after dinner. I have precious family memories,but taking care of you these last few years is solidified in my ❤️ you loved us through and through, you loved us all before birth, you had our best interest at heart, you thought more about us then you did for yourself, you left with all the wonderful care and love that you had for us, no one ever beside the Lord can take your place mom. It was a privilege to care for you, you told me not to cry, sometimes I listen to those words mom and sometimes I don’t, I love you with all my being. You trusted in the Lord Jesus for his saving grace you are alive in heaven. I will hold you tight when I see you again I love you, mom. 💕
Grandma...I don't even know where to begin. Being the oldest of the grandkid crew, I would like to say how much I appreciated you and Grandpa. There are no words that can express my graditide for both of you. I loved hearing your stories, and I remember all the times spent at your house growing up. The Thanksgivings, Christmases, the constant Italian "are you hungry? here eat!!" (Even though I was stuffed 🤣). "You want a Klondike bar"...The "get over here and sleep in the AC"!! I cannot even thank you for what you've done for me throughout my life. I will miss you immensely, and I know you are with your husband and daughter celebrating new life. Thank you...I love you...
Mom, you were the strongest woman I’ve ever known. You went through so much in your life, but you stayed strong and enjoyed life. I treasure the years I got to spend with you at the apartment after Dad died. You told me stories about your childhood and young adult life. Your stories were sometimes sad and some where very funny. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being my mother. I will always love you and miss you until we meet again. Love, your daughter, Diane
