Dearest Brian, Uncle Roger & Aunt Ruth, My deepest & heartfelt condolences. I shall truly miss my cousin Michelle Fears Garner, a.k.a. "MICKEY" . I was there watching her grow up to become a very confident and conscientious young woman who helped & served others. She was my enduring teenage babysitter when she attended Lutheran East High School. We had many years and good times at Family Reunions and a great time in Chicago at cousin Chris & Marva's 50th Wedding Anniversary. I will never forget Mickey and her contagious laugh, we always had a good laugh together! Peace & much LOVE❤ be with you Cuz... Always, Jackie

Condolences our extended to Brian, the Fears, family and others who mourn Mickey‘s passing. I met Michele about 20 years ago when I came to work at the VA. Drawn to her real, matter of fact, but warm personality, we became friends. We learned we had friends and family in common, and our friendship grew to include social engagements. It was always a joy to be in her company and something to be learned from our conversations.
