Karen,

Now you have done it. I work years to craft the image of a big tough old mick, and you set me tears when I have company in the house. It will be all over West Michigan tomorrow.

Your description of your love for our 'Spaw was wonderful, and now is recorded for posterity. My children will be reading it and hopefully passing it on. We do indeed love you and we are all part of a family that cares. Your husband touched us, sometimes in a difficult way, and we miss him. Sometimes things happen in a funny way. Because of our beloved 'Spaw's illness, we have come to know you, the boys and Wayne and Connie. We are blessed by this. Take care of that man, we will be here for you, and if anything has to be done, don't forget to ask.

Mick
