Micki: I was shocked to just now see and read the obituary in the paper this morning about the passing of your mom. I didn't know that David passed away the year before. I will never forget all the fun the three of us had going to the S.U. football games together for all those years and the pre-game "tailgate" parties at the Varsity. As you know, we had lots of fun at the Varsity and the Dome. The best time was when your mom, me and David went to Penn State Stadium to watch S.U. play against them. It was a wonderful trip and we had a lot of fun camping and tailgating at the game with the Penn State and S.U. fans. I wanted you to know that I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person to work with when I was at Blitman & King and a great friend to be with for all those years. I will keep you and her in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself! Lorri Caloia Micki, Our deepest sympathies go out to you during this most difficult time.

US Marine Corps No words can express the gratitude I have for the care you provided to my father during his illness. He was blessed to have you as a wife and a friend. I know you are together now and that provides great peace in my heart. Stacy Gantt Mickey, Cos, Mary Helen, George-These last few days have been very hard on you and all of our family. This would never have been except, we are having to let go of one of the "most beautiful and gracious ladies in the world." We can rest peacefully, knowing that she loved us all well, and we all loved her all well. The love she gave and received from my brother was a testimony for the love and faith she had in God and mankind. She surely is someone to emulate, a comforting thought in our hour of need and our committment to furthering our own journey on this road of life. God Bless you.
