Not sure what to say?

Mimi, my dear friend. Our friendship lasted much longer than our time at Campbell Soup. I appreciated the visits from you to just sit outside and talk. Thanks for attending my Tupperware parties and keeping me posted on the Campbell Soup gang. I still have the portrait you brought back from Malaysia for me. Written in beautiful calligraphy. Blessed Be to God, in Arabic. It hangs above the door way in my house. By the way, the kimonos don't fit anymore. :-) Rest in Peace my friend!

Mimi is always missed. Went to grammar and high school with her. She had beautiful long braids. Later in life, we shared working together on reunions for both schools. She was smart, funny and great to work with. Hope to see her again in the next life.

Very sorry to learn of Mimi's death. She opened her home to me without question...at a time where such kindness was rarely shown to me. My sympathies to you Nikki. She was a great person.

My friend, I'm so sorry I couldn't reach you. I called but found the number out of service. That's when I suspected something wrong. My feeling was the result from a conversation we had had. I will never forget our visits after our time at Campbell's and the beautiful gifts you brought me from Malaysia. I know you're resting peacefully. Until we meet again.

What more could one ask for than a full life that's a blessing for those who knew her. A true kindred spirit that I will cherish, even as I feel the loss.

missing you

Our class of 1957 at Holy Names High School will not be the same without our Mimi. She kept us connected and was so talented. Don't know how we can put together our 60th reunion without her.

Mimi is in my thoughts and prayers. Many fond
memories.

I'm so sadden to here of Mimi's passing. I worked with her at Campbell Soup and I will cherish our conversations about her exciting life. And her greatest story was when she spoke of her daughter. Nikki you where her everything. RIP my friend
