Because I am unsure if I'll be able to speak at the service, I will use this venue to tell the world what my Mimi meant to me...from the time I was born until the time she became ill, she was my best friend. She was my second mother, my partner in crime and my buddy. She taught me what it means to be the matriarch of a family and she was the definition of generosity. I would challenge any member of this family to say she didn't help them out of a tough spot at some time. She taught me to read and I was the only kid in kindergarten that could write my name in cursive. She taught me to swim before I can remember learning. This could go on for many pages, so I'll end it with this: Mimi, I love you with all of my heart. We had our tough times after you became ill and I can honestly say I am beyond grateful that you are no longer suffering. We grieve for ourselves but are relieved your spirit has been freed from the body that took the true You away from all of us.
