Mimi, none of this feels like it's real. You were always there for me and were one of my biggest supporters. You did anything you could for your family. I'll never forget how you called me Tiffany when I was younger and totally had me confused what my name was haha. I miss you and love you so much. Rest easy - Brittney

She was my first great and only love. I've always loved her until she passed away and I will miss her greatly, even though we didn't always agree, she was the heartbeat that kept this whole family together including her own family.

Love ya, Jean, Vick, brit and ajay.
