It’s been a year since you left us…quietly, softly. I held your hand, squeezing it gently and saying, “I love you” every so often, knowing I wouldn’t get a squeeze back but doing it just the same. I had brought in all your favorite songs, playing and singing them softly all week, missing your singing with me, as we’d done so many times before. When you passed away, I kissed you on the forehead and said, “I love you, Mom” one last time. And so the year began without you…a year of holidays missing you at each one. Hearing you, in my head, saying, “You’re just like your Father” when I took such care decorating for Christmas. Smiling, thinking how you would just put decorations anywhere or throw the tinsel on the tree, always in a hurry, but always decorating fully for each holiday. Some days were harder than others, your birthday… mine… but I got through them… as I will every year that I am here without you…as I get through today… We will miss and love you, Mom… until we meet again… Merri

Aunt Mickey you will always be in my heart. I will always remember the best childhood memories I had going over the Sears
Christmas book on Thanksgiving night with you. May you rest in Peace, that is if Pop lets you. I will miss you both dearly. You were the best of aunts.

Aunt Mickey will surely be missed; I remember visiting her on 23rd street - she always had ice cream & cookies for my sisters and I- such a sweet and generous kind soul- she would give the shirt off her back to help someone....Rest in Peace XXXOOO

I was very fortunate to be able to spend time with Grandma Mickey in her final days. The family gathered around, played her favorite music, and spent hours telling stories about her life and how wonderful she was. She was as pretty as ever and every once in a while she let us know she acknowledged we were there with her. As my grandpa used to say, “She was a good woman." I love you Grammy!

Grandma was loved by all and she will be missed. I wish I could have seen more of her in her last years. She once made me a sweater that I truly hated for my birthday but I've always cherished the memory. It's the thought and the love which really counts after all.

We are so thankful that we had a chance to visit with Aunt Mickey a few years ago when we were in Florida. We have beautiful memories of how unchanged she was from the beloved aunt of Bob's childhood. We know that among the people she will reunite with in Heaven, Bob's Mom will be thrilled to see her and to laugh together again about how much fun they had in the good old days!the Millers

Mom was the strongest lady I've ever known. She faced hardships with grace and a faith that was amazing. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and gave even when she had little to give. A tough act to follow but someone to strive to become.
There's a big hole in our lives now, Mom. Hope you're dancing with Dad today. I love you.

Even though we were not related by blood, I considered her my grandmother and an important part of my family. She was a beautiful, kind soul who always gave without question and made this world a better place for being in it. Rest well Grandma, you are loved forever.

My childhood was enriched by Mickey, this wonderful woman who was married to my cousin, Joe Maglione. I always looked forward to the visits at home, to the beach outings, to everywhere she would be. There was always a smile on her face as she kissed my cheek. Mickey, save a space for me close to you, okay? I'll be the one waiting on line for that kiss.

My beautiful, beautiful aunt with the smiling face....how the world will miss your gentleness, your joy for life and your never ceasing ability to take life as it came. You had many heartaches I'm sure, but one would never know it because you wouldn't have wanted to see anyone sad. I will miss knowing you are on this earth and the earth is a little less bright without your shining smile.

I've never "not" met anyone before who had such a powerful influence on my life. Mickey, you've been a hero of mine since I met Helen and you will always continue to be one of my few hero's for the many wonderful things you've done for the people I love. You will certainly be missed by many!!
