Mickie and Rickey were passionate about their belief in God, loving their animals, living life, helping others, giving to charity, and being outdoors. They loved fishing, going on adventures, boating, camping, rock collecting, treasure hunting, dancing, traveling, and playing jokes on one another. They would always be found working together on many projects inside or outside just as long as time was spent together. The three of us were as thick as thieves.

Mickie and Rickey were deeply affectionate, loving, and the best parents, family, and friends anyone could ask for. They would give anyone the shirt off their back, provide a listening ear, or the last dollar they had. They are truly salt of the earth and I am thankful to God that they are my parents.

They were energetic, playful, funny, clever, brilliant, and young at heart. They will be forever missed, continuously loved, and honored within our hearts. This is not goodbye but, see you later. They are definitely in heaven as they provided heaven here on earth being in our lives.
