Mimi was my YLF of Birmingham executive director, mentor, and friend. She expressed so much interest in each of us and our paths. I appreciate her devotion and passion for young people.

To all the members of the Wilson and Tynes families I offer my joy of knowing Mimi for quite some time. My late wife, Wendy Wilson Dabney, was Mimi´s sister-in- law but I remember her from The Advent, where I was a cradle member. Richard Dabney Chapel Hill, NC

Mimi was truly one of a kind and never met a stranger. I knew her from the time I came to Bham in the 1970's and she ALWAYS made everyone feel special. I know you ALL will miss her terribly. Fondly, Mary Bashinsky
