I just learned of Mickey's passing today. She was a terrific person with a great sense of humor! She was a bright light to everyone who knew her...her passing has made the world a little dimmer.

Dear Bob, Matt and LIz, Your mom was as you know a very special lady. My fondest memory of her is how she loved her children, she was so proud of each of you. You are great kids and I am so sorry for your loss. She is happy now and is no longer suffering and that is all the comfort we can have when we lose our mom. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Liz and Family,

Thank you for sharing your mom with me and so many others. Mick was always listening with open ears, a shoulder to cry on, a hug for comfort, a confidante and friend, a compassionate heart and a rock to so many. I am sad to know that we will no longer have this opportunity to experience this in a physical form from her, but the legacy she leaves and the impact that she has had on so many lives is the gift she has left to all of us. It is time for her to be our cheerleader from afar, free from any ailements and leaving us with many wonderful memories. RIP Mom!

So so sorry to learn of Mrs. Mickey's passing. I always loved talking to her at the school and coordinating my grandson's schedule with her. She always watched over my grandson Ryan Vanslooten and he loved her dearly. She was a wonderful person.

Matt and family~
You mom was probably the nicest person I have ever known. She always made me feel special when I was a little girl and always went out of her way to come talk to me whenever she saw me throughout the years. She was a fantastic lady and I know you have so many awesome memories to remember her by. May they comfort you during this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. It's so hard for us to lose her, but we know she is in such a beautiful place, without pain. She was truly one of God's special angels, so loving and giving.....no matter who needed help....she was there. No one will ever forget her smile and determination. She is free now...free of her wheelchair, free of pain but in return for that she had to leave her family. We love you Mick...and know why you had to leave us. When we feel the warm sunshine on our face or the slight breeze blowing in our hair.....we will know it's you.....telling us you are ok. You were such a special lady.
