March 1950 - June 2013
This is the last photograph we took in 2012. Just one fun Sunday goofing around at the flat in Wisconsin. Mick passed away on Saturday, June 1st in our flat in Oldham, England from a massive heart attack. He didn't show any signs of heart problems and he was looking forward to getting the flat set up, ready to go when he could bring me home for our retirement. Needless to say, this is a very difficult period for the entire family. His funeral was at Holy Family in Hollinwood on the 21st of June and attended by family and some of our friends. Burial was in Moston at the family plot in St. Joseph's Cemetery.
This photo was taken outside our flat in Wisconsin during summer of 2010. We loved it there.
This photo was taken in Portmeirion, Wales with Mick's brothers Kevin (left), Austin (middle) and Mick (right). We had such a great time there. It was May of 1997 and Mick still had his beard.
This photo was taken in Medjugorje in 1998 on our honeymoon. We loved the outdoor café close to the church. Their coffee was fantastic!!
To say we are all in the Twilight Zone is an under statement. But I know for a fact Mick is fine, enjoying his new journey and in a place he longed to be..... We often talked about Heaven, trusting in God and knowing this was our goal. He has made his presence known to me in many ways and I can sense his joy and happiness. Now he can look after all the people he loved in Heaven and pull a pint with Jesus, which he often said he would do one day.
He was certainly an original...gone but never forgotten....until the next time....I miss you more.
