R.I.P. Michael Frederick Quirie

went to Mikey's funeral.  I wasn't planning on being there the entire time, because I have so much laundry to do and I needed to get the boys early from school.  I was fine driving to the church and walking there, but as soon as I was walking up the stairs, I started losing it.  I always cry at these things.  when I saw the boards of photos, that was intense.  tears just streaming down my face.  and there was no tissue to be found.  I knew I needed to stay at that point.  get some closure.  he was so young, 33.  he was always smiling and an amazing, super generous guy.  someone you wanted to know.  someone you wanted on your side.  incredibly good-looking and beautiful energy.  I know that energy will be nearby.  I stayed for a cocktail like mikey would have wanted.  party!  I really hope to stay in touch with some newfound friends.  mikey had some great friends.  thanks for being a part of my life, mikey.  you will be missed by so many.
