    Losing your mom grandma and great grandma is a terrible loss. Mimi touched all of our lives. We hadn’t seen her for a while, but she left a great impression on our hearts.
    Anna and Brooke talked about her often.
    This tribute was beautiful and I am sure it made her proud.
    You are all in our thoughts and our prayers
