Dear Mimi:

There are no words to say you will be missed terribly. The girls are all ready asking about Christmas and what on Earth will everyone do without you and your delicious foods?

I have very fond and loving memories of you and your home and visits for dinner on Sundays, you were always most hospitable.

You will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Be sure to give Boppie a big hug from all of us too!

Loving and missing you.
