Mark, Joe, Jetsy and all Mim's family,
My prayers, thoughts and love are with you. Mim is truly in the Loving Arms of Our Lord. I have lost a very dear friend, a dynamo of energy, a champion of the unborn and the most selfless person I will ever know.
I am so glad to have spent the week with her in March; we had such a good time and also to have talked to her last Wednesday night. She loved her family and she is loved by so many. I am sure she will be our special advocate before the Lord.

Mrs. Reid was and always will be a beautiful soul. I was fortunate to have her as my teacher. But, the most important lessons she taught me, were about myself. She touched the hearts of hundreds of children and the power of her God-given talent will be with us forever.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Joe and family,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Mim was a great parent to have around during our high school years, and I'm sure she will be greatly missed. I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have seen her on Good Friday.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am so sorry to hear of Mim's passing. I had the pleasure of chatting with her during the Holy Week services and I'm so grateful that we had the opportunity. When I became a member of St. Mary Parish Family, she was one of the first to welcome me and for that I will be eternally grateful. I will miss her.

Mim,

We really enjoyed your company in Portugal. I'm sure God is taking care of you. You are a wonderful, special person who has touched the harts of many including me and my mother.

Joe, Jetsy and family,

My prayers are with you and your entire family. Mim took care of so many children in this town who will never forget her, including myself. She was a wonderful teacher, mother, grandmother and friend. The town of Winchester has lost one of its finest.
