Not sure what to say?





Mimi was one of the strongest,determined and reliable individuals we've known. When she decided to do something, you knew it would not only be done but be done to the best of her ability. This strength, determination and her equally strong faith in God took her through her final days. But this strong,determined woman was also a loving,caring individual. Just ask her family or any of her friends. She will be missed and remembered by many.
Our deepest sympathy to Colin and all her family.
Sincerely,
the Morgans, Bob, Joan and Dave

Mimi, you fought the good fight and you have overcome death as you are in eternity with our heavenly father. A true woman of inspiration, I will never forget how you used your life and underwent experimental treatment to help others. You were always so selfless and always longing to do more work for our Lord. Through everything you've been through you always had a smile on your face. You knew god had a plan and purpose for your life and your life emanated your love for Christ. You have touched all of us deeply and will be truly missed! As for your family, always remember that this is only a temporary seperation as long as you have Jesus in your heart. One day you will be greeted at his heavenly gates by your wife, mother, friend. You will see that big smile on her face as she embraces you and welcomes you home.

Mimi, What an amazing, faithful, Christ-like servant you were! We were so fortunate to have you on loan from Heaven; I'm sure that the trumpets were lined up for your arrival home. The battle is over, your victory is won.

Wishing peace to Colin and your family during this time, as well as the assurance that we will one day see you again.

We truly miss Mimi and Collin at Faith Alive. They were such an integral part of our church family. Mimi was such an inspiration to us these last few years, demonstrating how to live each day fully by God's grace and mercy. She was so involved, from children's ministries, which were dear to her heart, to staff parish to the choir.
When I first met Mimi, she was taking singing lessons, something she always wanted to do and was finally getting the chance to do it in retirement. I have no doubt that her beautiful voice is ringing through the throne room of heaven right now singing praises to her Savior--as she did every day on earth. Mimi, you will always be in our hearts, but you have won you're reward and are finally home! Well done, good and faithful servant.
