"I have fought the good fight, I have run the race, I have kept the faith" (2-Timothy 4:7 - NIV)

The Vacant Chair G.F. Root

We shall meet, but we shall miss him

There will be one vacant chair;

We shall linger to caress him

While we breathe our evening prayer.

We love you Mickey and although they lay your body in the ground today, it is only a shell you used while on Earth. The one we love is not there, he is walking through fields of Gold.

You told me once that you believed we were not put here by chance. We were put here to try and sort things out. Without a shadow of a doubt you did that pretty well. You helped a lot of us sort things out. I am a better person for having known you.

You will be sorely missed but we will not mourn too long because we know how much you loved to laugh and play jokes, and Lord how you loved it when you got an unsuspecting, telemarketer on the phone. A lot of people who didn't know you, thought you must be dark and moody in order to write such bittersweet, sad songs, but you were just the opposite. Upbeat and full of Sunshine...You would want us to smile and be happy for that is the best way to honor your memory. And most of all to love each other, for in the end, love is all that matters.
