“During this time, nobody knows the pain, unless they are part of it. I'm sorry, that you have to hurt so much during this time of loss in the family. But, maybe, slowly, and eventually, you will see what God was seeing, and maybe Cousin Mickey was asking God for the right answers, with all the pain. But, all of that is between God and Mick, and all we can say, is I'm sorry for all the pain you feel at this time in your lives. But, just remember all the good times, Mick was a part of your family. We understand, it will never be the same without him, but enjoy everyone in the family, since we do not know, when our soul will be required from us. I pray, everyone knows who Jesus Is, before it's too late. Just like Cousin Sue and others, would tell us, here and there during our visits at Grandma and Grandpa Pischel home on the hill. No words to say, but we do understand the tears of grief. Take care, Cousin T.”
