"...yours truly {Mickey!} arrived on the scene."

1stly...I won't say "condolences," because I humbly think it unnecessary, in the best way possible.

"Revealing the words I listen

Seeing you in my silence

Learning I'm with you constantly

As I was before"

~ Jon Anderson {YES}

& 2ndarily, I offer this Song. Take ONLY, the BEST, THAT YOU favor.

Steve's steel-pedal, is sweet.

Me thinks.

EnJoy !

Say Hi !,

Ta Your Devout Mama Mia.

God Mickey I can barely see the keys …I have so many tears falling. What a sad, but beautiful story. You looked like a plucky kid (no surprise) those big dimples and that huge smile. What an enormous void your Mum left you. I am so sorry for your loss Thanks for sharing I hope it helped ease the pain …❤️❤️❤️

What a lovely, touching tribute, in details, to your mom. I know guys don’t always rhapsodize about family emotions and loss. It is special to read how much you loved her and what she went through, with you and for you. My own mom passed away Nov 8 2002–where has the time gone? She began struggling with memories in the mid 90s and as she was a reader, former young teacher out of HS on the prairies, it was a loss of dignity not to to find the right words. I moved to Phx area to help with her care and also support Dad. I would take her Wendy’s frosties which she would slurp up, we would walk around and around her facility yard, even as she wore heavy sweatshirts in the warm! She fell and broke her arm, never complained, had a cast, purple, a favorite color. One day I said, Gotta go Mom, love you! She said Love you too, love you lots! Had her own gibberish but sometimes came out with a sentence. And could most always sing hymns along with Dad, so amazing.
