Many hearts are sadden
In hearing of your loss
May the memories of “Mimi’s” Life
Inspire you to continue on

Just remember that we are here to support you
Only God knows when to take the best
No one can take your memories away
Each day that you must carry on know that
She is now at peace and laid to rest.

Deepest Sympathy,
