Use this thread to continue sharing your thoughts and condolences for Mickey's loved ones.
 
To the shunicks,family and friends. Words cannot express they pain you are enduring at this present time. We have all come to know Mickey throughout this time, and have to love the young bright star she was. I know there is nothing we can do to help you through this physical/emotional pain but I and I'm sure others hold out our hands in support of you and Mickey and pray. They say time heals everything, in this case I don't think this is possible but I hope one day you can find the meaning and answers as to why this happened. RIP precious Mickey, your shiny star will stay bright forever.
 
Im sitting here at 4am in tears thinking of Mickey and Lisa, and so many that are still missing. My heartfelt condolences to their families, friends, and all of the people whose lives they have touched.

Im also angry.. sad and pi**ed off. Registered Sex Offender.. free to walk our streets, drive their dirty white trucks and destroy lives. When will this end? When will they be incarcerated for the rest of their lives instead of being "registered"? How many other lives has he destroyed that are unknown? RIP Mickey and Lisa... you will never be forgotten.
 
If Mickey could send a message to her loved ones this would be the one. My husband dedicated this to me and I found it so profound that I want to pass it on in case one day the Family reads this thread:

"It's Your World Now"

A perfect day, the sun is sinkin' low
As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow
The time we shared went by so fast
Just like a dream, we knew it couldn't last
But I'd do it all again
If I could, somehow
But I must be leavin' soon
It's your world now

It's your world now
My race is run
I'm moving on
Like the setting sun
No sad goodbyes
No tears allowed
You'll be alright
It's your world now

Even when we are apart
You'll always be in my heart
When dark clouds appear in the sky
Remember true love never dies

But first a kiss, one glass of wine
Just one more dance while there's still time
My one last wish: someday, you'll see
How hard I tried and how much you meant to me

It's your world now
Use well the time
Be part of something good
Leave something good behind
The curtain falls
I take my bow
That's how it's meant to be
It's your world now
It's your world now
It's your world now
 
:rose:My deepest sympathy to all of you who have loved Mickey her whole life. Many of us came to love your daughter, your sister, your friend as our own. Mickey has truly touched my heart and although I don't in anyway pretend to know how you are hurting, I grieve along with you. I pray for you all. I pray that you may somehow be able to heal. I know words mean very little at a time like this from strangers but maybe someday it will bring you comfort to know how much Mickey has touched so many lives who will not forget her beautiful light as we have felt it even not knowing her. Peace be with you all and may justice come swiftly.:rose:

My deepest sympathies to the Shunick family and friends. I have followed this story since the beginning, and continue to be amazed at the amount of support and general caring that the community has shown. I have never visited LA before, but I can now say that southern LA will be next destination. I am so intrigued by everything i have learned about the area and the people that I want to experience it firsthand. And maybe be able to pay my respects to Mickey in person. RIP Mickey
 
My deepest sympathy goes out to family and friends of Mickey Shunick. I first heard about Mickeys disappearance Saturday May 19th while eating at a restaraunt on Bertrand drive. As the days and weeks followed I was priviledged to meet Tim Miller with Equusearch, Christina who is a local that assisted Tim and many other beautiful people that volunteered at the FMSN center. As I told many of these people, i do not know Mickey or her family - but i do know that she must be an incredible young lady. I was often in awe of the calmness, strength and sincere kindness those who were close to her showed during such a horrific time. I continue to pray for Mickey and her family and I pray for those of us that were not priviledged to know her. I pray that we may continue on with the same strength, calmness and most importantly the kindness towards others that surrounds Mickey, her family and her friends. RIP Mickey
 
This may be a little OT, but I had a dream last night. It seems I was standing in a park or an open space somewhere and there was a bicycle up on a concrete pedastal. I was with other people and standing in a line as we walked by the bicycle. If there is going to be a memorial in a park or bike path, wouldn't it be nice if Mickey's bike was repaired and displayed somewhere in it? Don't know how much it would cost, but I would kick in a few dollars for it.

The Prayer of St Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

To the Shunick Family-

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your beloved Mickey. I am a distant stranger in Pennsylvania who has been drawn to Mickey and her absence all these days.

Thank you for sharing her life and your love for her. Many people across the country and in other parts of the world have taken Mickey and your family into their hearts. That can't be of much comfort, I know - but please be aware, someday, that we have walked beside you in some small way.

I believe that Mickey lives on in every woman who will not encounter her attacker. Every day that a woman who may have been a victim walks the earth, Mickey is there. And with every child those women bring into the world.

I am so terribly sorry that it had to be your Mickey that day.

Many of us have found and shared specific music that expresses how we feel about Mickey's loss and her life. While I rejoice in the life Mickey led, the fresh feeling of loss, for me, is best expressed in Frank Ticheli's Shenandoah.

It speaks of a longing for someone lost, but ever present. Someone just out of reach.

I hope you find solace in each other and in the memory of Mickey's vibrant life.

Peace be with you.

I cried when I read this today. I have been following the case for months and have been hoping for a different outcome, somehow. :(

I cannot imagine the pain her family are in now, if I myself, a stranger, feel this upset.

RIP Mickey.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing. ~ Helen Keller
