Alfredo, Marcello and family. Truly sorry for your loss, Mickey was great and was always a pleasure to see and be around. She will be surely missed.

Ms. Mickey, Your smile will always be vivid in my mind. In John 5:28 Jesus said, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. With that promise in mind, I look forward to seeing your smile when his promise is accomplished. For now rest Ms. Mickey and see you later.
My sincerest condolences to the family and may Jehovah strengthen you.

Mom, Giancarlo said he needed you and it’s ok. It’s ok for me to hurt, it’s ok for me to cry, your seeds of knowledge have given me wisdom that will not be wasted.
My aunt Mickey was the best. We spent hours on the phone talking and sharing stories. My heart is broken for my uncle and cousin. RIH now with our loved ones. Until we meet again. Love you all, Rosalia
My heart is heavy. Mickey was an amazing person. A true friend. I will miss her laugh and jokes. She was a pleasure to be around. I had the pleasure of enjoying the outings we went on with a few other friends and enjoyed the celebrations we would have for birthdays at the job. She loved her some Luther Vandross music. While many new her much longer than I, I am delighted that I had the time to establish a friendship with her. Will miss that banana pudding and pistachio cake. But most of all I will Miss You Mickey Mick.
My condolences to Alfredo, Marcello and the entire family.
Heaven you have received an amazing ANGEL!!!
RIP
Yvonne Davis-PS 106
so sad to hear about Mildred’s passing. We grew up together in Edenwald, Bx. She was always kind and had the most wonderful genuine smile. God certainly gained a loving angel and may she rest peacefully with Him.
