Jodi and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I just found out this week. What great memories I hold of our School days and hanging at your house after school even when your mom was home - she was cool Mom. I always remember her working very hard for all of you in the family. And - of course our first jobs she got us at KFC.
My deepest sincere thoughts are with you and all of your family.

Dear Family,
Words can not express the pain I feel for you all on the passing of the most dearest, loving, loyal lady your mother was. Oh how she loved her children, grandchildren and her 4 legged children.
I met Midge 17 years ago while working at KFC. She took my son and me under her wing and we remained friends even after I left KFC and the area.
I remember the night she MADE we drive downtown Boston (back then I did everything in my power to stay away from there, being a country girl and all) in the snow, just to go to the Hard Rock to eat dinner. She laughed at my son for telling everyone it was my birthday and had black balloons delivered to me at the table. She knew it was a crock, but enjoyed the tenacity of my son to pull it off. We laughed long and hard that night.
When ever I was in the area, we tried to meet, if only for an hour or so. She attended my son's wedding and there my family knew why she was so important to us.
Midge will be greatly missed by all who knew her, but she has no pain now and is with those she missed so much, who left before her.
Family, please keep the faith, strength, and love she taught you in your heart. Never forget that she is only a memory away, in your hearts always, and will be taking care of you until you meet again. She is your guardian angel...always has been and always will be.
Loving embraces to you all,
Ruth (Maness) Grimm

Thank you all for all the kind words and rememberance of my mom, it is truly appreciated. I will truly miss her till I can be there with her some day. She told me she wasn't afraid to go but only that she didn't want to go now! She was never done helping people and caring about everybody, now she is up above watching over everyone and with the past ones who were near, her mom, Joe, Scruffy, Misty and others...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I met your mother 20 years ago when I was transferred to MA from Arkansas as an employee of KFC. I was 24 at the time, your mother became my best friend. We worked together (very hard) and played hard. She was like my mother away from home (Wisconsin) and my best friend.I felt honored because she made me and my new husband (Dwayne) feel apart of the family. Summers at Cape Cod. Joe taught us midwesterners about claming and crabing ... it was so cool! We moved back to Wisconsin some 17 years ago and have never forgotten Midge and her wonderful family. Recently I have been thinking of Midge (having not talked to her in years) and decided to google her tomight only to find that she has passed. My heart is broken to hear this. My heart felt sympathies go out to her family .. I can only say that she was one hell of a woman ... although its been 17 years since I have seen her and 12 years sinces we have spoke ... I have never forgotten her. As a young girl in a new town she treated me as though I was her daughter and yet I was also her friend. She left a life long impression on me ... I will never forget her.

To her family and friends .... I am very sorry for your loss.... but Midge left a life long impression on everyone she met... she will never be forgotten and we are all blessed that she touched our lives.

Ever so sincerely,
