My deepest condolences to all Mickey's family, I wish I had been able to see her since she went to Arborg, but sadly I wasn't able to. As many of you know, my mom(Ethel Stolwyk) and Mickey became very good friends when they lived in First Choice Manor, playing Yatzee, cards and just sitting talking. They spent hours together and Mickey was very sad when my mom passed and as I said to Muriel, I like to think that they are happy to see each other again and are still playing Yatzee. I hope to see you all on Saturday. - Posted by: Ann Gislason (Friend) on: Sep 21, 2018
