Most people experience a life changing event at least once in their life. Our family and friends experienced
that on October 17th 2007 when Mickey was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. We were all devistated.
How could
something so crushing happen to him? We went through the emotions of this isn't true, this isn't right,
why Mickey how could this happen to such a wonderful man, don't lose hope, we can beat this and then the reality set in
on December 10th and our lives were forever changed.
The day to day experience was so overwhelming watching
him struggle minute by minute through the daily care and fighting every avenue to get the proper help and care needed
to help him make it through one day at a time.
What a lonely and despairing time for all. So as a family
we decided that because of the love we had for Mickey we would create a foundation in his memory that reflected
the caring and giving nature he had to all who knew him.
