Talented and beautiful. Special in so many ways. You are missed.

I never knew anyone before or since named Mimi. And, I never knew anyone who could so completely change the complexion of any room in which she walked like Mimi did with her genuine smile and twinkling eyes. Mimi was the rare person who always left me wanting to be a better person and always left me happier after we talked with each other. I remain charmed by her having known Mimi even so briefly.
Loved by all, understood by few, the world is now a little less bright without Mimi.
One of her many adoring high school classmates,

Mimi was my best friend in high school. She had such a beautiful smile and she brought joy to any one she was around. We spent many week-ends making crafts and baking ( always her idea ). She definitely was a fashionista as her clothes and outfits were the most fashionable of anyone walking through CHS. I’ll always remember what a good friend she was to me!
