Milton Dell Weeks

June 17, 1919 – March 18, 2015

Milton (Mickey) Weeks passed away on March 18th after a long, distinguished and colorful life. He was a gifted story-teller, rock hound and exhaustive genealogist, studying not only the family lines, but the history of the times. And of course, regaling family members with stories of their life and times.

After a career in the US Army Signal Corps and a veteran of World War II, Korean and Vietnam wars, he retired and studied to become a certified gemologist. There was always another project or design up to his last days.

He is preceded in death by his wife Vylma, son Frank and his brother and sisters. He leaves behind his daughters Sande and Laura, his son-in-law Terry, whom he regarded as his second son, and his beloved granddaughters, Meghan and Lindsey. And a condo full of rocks.

In cleaning out his condo, I (Sande) found this clipping I had sent him (still with the original note) for some reason in 1988:

Dear Ann Landers: My beloved brother, Kevin Healy died on May 10, 1986, at the age of 64. He wrote his own obituary. Several of my friends suggested that it deserves a place in your column. Her it is. I hope you agree.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever were to each other, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the same easy way you always have. Laugh aw we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was. There is absolute, unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past. Nothing has been lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before – only better. Infinitely happier. We will be one, together, forever.
