Dear Mimi, I'm remembering your mom and dad this weekend (thank you legacy.com for the notification), missing all of you! I trust you are well. Wishing you God's richest blessings! If you have Instagram, my handle is JRenko7. It's been 12 years sweet friend. Always thankful for the opportunity/time caring for your parents! What a season that was for us!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
