To Mickie’s and Rich’s Family
Ah, Mickie, my Dearest Friend. You have achieved the highest goal in life. You are now with your beloved Rich. We traveled to many places, went on cruises, sharing so much fun, love and laughter. You were a gracious and very kind Lady. I will miss you so much, and Alan will miss his “Mrs. Kentucky”. Mickie always called Alan, “Mr. Potato Head”! Our Best to Mickie’s family. You were all so good to her, especially Clare. We are sorry we cannot attend on Saturday, as our children have planned an 80th and 85th Birthday for us. We will celebrate our life together now, and you will celebrate Mickie’s life as it was then, on the same day. You go, Girl! Soar on the wings of the Angels! All our love, Alan and Sandy Peterson.
