Dear Louis, Claudia, Tim and families,
I was introduced to your mother, Mim Anne, about 5 years ago, by her close friend and collegue, Dr. Betty Tuttton. Although I was never one of her students at SPC, I feel that my life has been
enriched by our brief friendship. Whenever we met, I thoroughly enjoyed our lively conversations about current events, good books and films.. In March, on my last visit to her condo, she even gave me iinstructions on how to use my new i Pad!! What an...

I first met Mim Anne through Dr. Betty Tutton, who was my Humanities professor at SPJC in the '70's. Their long friendship was based on mutual respect and joy in life, and an insatiable interest in our language, among countless other things. She is smiling out at all of us from this wonderful picture! What a blessing to have known her. Love to the family from Bobbie Hoopes

Love & Sympathy to Louie,Loretta,Claudia and Tim. I know you will miss her. She loved all of you very much. Love, Aunt Ann

Louis, Claudia, and Tim,

My deepest sympathies on your lost. She was my "second mom". I do not have the words to fully express what she meant to me and how much I owe her. She will always be in my memories.

I will never forget the Motion Picture Criticism class I took with Mim Ann many years ago. She changed the way I look at movies since then. I feel very privieged to have been touched by her life.
Fondly,
One of Mim Anne's "countless former students"

MIM Anne, you were so much part of my life since I was a little baby of 8 months.. You will always be in my thoughts..

Louis, Claudia, and Tim,
At a time like this, mere words seem so inadequate to console you in your loss. We met "Tim's Mom and Dad" in 1985 on one of their treks to California. We had a newborn, whom she was charmed by, immediately. She never failed to see us whenever she came to CA. I remember the time that she cooked "Johnny Cakes" for Tim's house guests. She was so witty, warm, insightful, and caring. She was brilliant, yet not boastful. We told her that we had plans to adopt Tim...

Mim Anne and Wes lived next door to Bob and I for many years.really enjoyed the helpfulness of your mom when my son,David, was born,then when my daughter ,Lisa ,arrived. your mom was so kind,thoughtful funny and gentle.May she rest in peace and walk the golden road of heaven with your dad.

All family members but special to both my 2 students Claudia and Louis (Chemistry -CHS) and Tim who was my David's playmate IN Highland Pines (Now they both live inSF area).Your vibrant, up-beat Mom was my friend over many years. After we both left CHS I still visited her at the college after I returned from Maryland in 1981 etc. Your Mom had the unique ability to make the other person feel special---she was the special one. Since I live in Clearwater LIsted on MCMullen Booth Rd., Claudia,...
