HE WAS A GENTLEMAN IN EVERY WAY.
To Josephine, Larry, Martha, Steve, Terry, and other members of the family: I was sad to hear of Mickey’s death. Being born in Daingerfield and spending the 1st 18 years of life there, Mickey was always a part of my life. I have been gone from Daingerfield for more than 50 years, but I have vivid memories of him. What a great guy…always greeted you, was always glad to see you, was always willing to help you any way he could. I share your loss and having recently lost my parents, I know the grief that you are experiencing. Cherish your memories, for through them Mickey continues to live through you. God’s grace will be your comfort until you are one day reunited with Mickey. God bless you
Ron, my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Your dad was such a fine man and good example. May you find comfort in all the good memories and God grant you peace in his well lived life..
Lois & I are so sorry to hear about your loss — Mickey was the last one of those men who stood up at the top of the football stadium and rooted for the Tigers! He was such a good friend to our parents — he will be missed. I’m sorry neither of us can be present for the funeral, but know that our prayers are with you.
Richard and I were so sorry to learn of Mr. Cowan’s passing. He was such a wonderful lifelong friend of my dad,as well as the rest of our family. We will always remember his many kindnesses to Mama and Daddy during their years of failing health. We regret being unable to attend the funeral, but will keep his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of loss.
