Just one look at her smile and happy-go-lucky attitude was all it took to love her and love being around her. She came to the office to surprise Gary, and just to meet her one time was enought to think that you have know her for years. Just to let you know, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. We will miss "Mickey".

Mickey and I have been friends and co-workers for over seven years. She was a very special person. I am glad God put her in my life. She was a big incouragement to me. I will miss her very much. Someday I will see her again because I know that she is in heaven. She was not ashamed of her Lord. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

Gary brought MaryLou to work one day to show her around and introduce her to his co-workers.



One look at the two of them together would put a smile on anybodys face. The pride in Garys eyes as he introduced her, the smile in her eyes when she said hello.



I remember thinking, wow, I want to be in love like that.
