We never met Mickie but we did know her wonderful husband Larry. He is an incredible man and he was so devoted to her up to the end. She could not have had a better husband.

Mickie quietly & secretly organized & arranged for all siblings to have a family photo taken and framed for Mom & Dad as a Christmas gift. She always was the gentle loving soul of our family. She was my childhood protector. She is the best of us!

Ron and I loved knowing Mickie for the last 7 or 8 years. She was funny and caring. She loved her Larry up to the end. She loved the Lord even more, and we know Heaven is a better place with her presence.

Praying for the Holcombe family. I enjoyed being in church with Mickie these last years of her life. I was blessed to see love in action by Larry. It was a testimony of faithfulness we all witnessed. Mickie must have been a hoot! Larry told us she was an amazing host, that she loved people in her home. When I meet her in Heaven, she will look like the Mickie you all know...and I long to meet. Until that day, may we all love Jesus like she did. Love, Sophia

Mickie was such a dear sweet friend...full of life....full of love for her family....and if you spent enough time with her she made you a part of her life.....just by being with Mickie while she was around her family you could see she was the matriarch...she lived and loved and could she cook....we were new to the church...first family to reach out to us was the Holcombe family...and that meant coming over the house and hanging out and eating her wonderful cooking and being loved by Mickie...she loved to love on people and feed them and keep up with them and make them feel cared for and wanted. That, my friends, is a gift from the Lord and His presence in her life was always felt.....you knew she loved God and loved you with that love. We were so blessed to meet the Holcombe family that day...to eat and play Frisbee Golf....and then desert! That is our first memory of this wonderful family and this wonderful friend....and that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship kept alive by this faithful friend who is now a apart of the home she always longed for...we bless God for letting us be apart of a life that lived for others....we love you still....never goodbye...In Christ.

Mickie's laugh will forever be in my mind. She had a way of seeing things differently & taking it head on & there was no dancing around things, she told it like it was. She held true to her convictions & loved her family fiercely but loved the Lord her God even more. Her faith was strong & she was a warrior. My husband, Chuck, & I send our love & prayers to the Holcomb family. We love you.

This is far the hardest thing I've ever written. How do I put into words almost 27 years of our friendship? The ups and downs. The crazy things we would do. Our trips together. You banging on my door trying to get me out of a pit of depression. Trying to avoid her was a complete failure. She always won and it was always what I needed. Mickey was larger than life to me and the greatest encourager. Who would of thought that two complete opposites would become such close friends? Mickey was everything I wasn't. She was strong, passionate, bold as a lion, hospitable, dependable, loving and compassionate but to me her greatest attribute was her faithfulness. Faithful as a wife. Faithful as a mother. Faithful as a friend and most importantly, faithful in her love and worship of our Lord and God. We talked about everything, laughed about many things and cried too. Sometimes all at the same time. Mickey was a fighter and that is putting it mildly. She defied boundaries placed on her by doctors her entire life. She wasn't promised a long life, marriage or children but God fulfilled her desires. To tell Mickey she couldn't do something usually proved that what is impossible with man is possible with God. Mickey's whole life is testimony of just how great our God is. We are weak but he is strong was what she clinged too. I think the last five years of her life was the greatest testimony of that. She was well cared for and loved to the very end of her lifes journey. Mickey was never afraid of death. We talked about it a lot and what heaven would be like. To Mickey, my friend and sister, faithful and true and who sticketh closer than a brother, I praise God our Father he heard your cries and has wiped away your tears and has brought you safely home.
All my love, Pam

I have written and deleted many stories of Aunt Mickie. There's just too many to share. So many memories stand out. She was the best aunt. Even though she wasn't local, I spent more time with her and her family than any of my other relatives. I remember so many holidays with her. So many summers. So many games. Aunt Mickie was the most hospitable person I knew. Whether she was cooking for someone, or hosting a bible study, she was always doing things for other people. I went to so many in home churches and bible studies with her, long before I knew Jesus as my personal savior. When she could no longer cook for others, host others, or play games anymore, I know she was so sad about that. Those were some of her favorite things to do.

One summer, I spent the entire summer at her house. Sara and I were more like sisters than cousins growing up. I remember one night, Sara and I had gotten home after Aunt Mickie and Uncle Larry had gone to bed. We were out with a couple of boys that night and when we got home, we were giggling and talking in the kitchen while spooning out peach ice cream Aunt Mickie had made earlier that day. We were being too loud and woke Aunt Mickie up. I remember her yelling out to quiet down and NOT to eat all the ice cream. I don't know why that memory is one of my favorites. Maybe, because it was one of my best summers, staying with my favorite people.

I will always remember Aunt Mickie with the fondest memories, of the most fun times of my life. I'm so thankful she is with our Lord. That her body is healed and whole. She has never been more healthy and whole than she is now, in all her life. And I am so thankful that I will see her again and get to spend eternity with her. Her stories of life that I shared with her will always be remembered and shared with my children. She will always be loved. She will always be my favorite aunt.

Mickie is/was the best sister-in-law! How we loved “game nights” at Aunt Mickie’s and Uncle Larry’s house with the kids....especially games of Dominos! All the great card games they taught us were so much fun and we still play them today. Mickie was the BEST cook and such a generous and terrific hostess. She took care of sooooo many people in her life. Once you met Mickie, you had an overwhelming feeling of being blessed to have her in your life! She was an AMAZING daughter, sister, mother and such a loving “Mimi!” I miss her very much. She’ll always have a special place in my heart! ❤️❤️❤️ ~ Julie
