I cherish Mimee's person, one of such vitality and joy. She imparted so much to those who knew her; "Joy" along with looking for that postive view in life.
Miriam lived so vivaciously. I loved her tenacity; you could feel her love.

Wonderful memories... "O.K. love." we will see you soon.
Hirschey family you are on my heart and in my prayers with much love.
