My Mimi . It was not easy to say goodbye to you but I will cherish all of the fond memories and experiences we shared together.
I am so blessed to have had spent so much time with you! You were always there for me and supported me in all of my dreams! I got to grow up with you by my side, someone I always looked up to. Instilling my love of gardening, hiking, the mountains, the cabin, New Hampshire and Switzerland. Most importantly, my passion for learning, the value of education and teaching, just like you!
I will continue to talk about you to Genevieve and William! We all love you so much!

Ann we met so many years ago. We knew than it would be a lifelong friendship. So many memories. You taught me so much. Your legacy will live on. I planted flowers the day you passed. I could hear you reminding me how to plant so they would survive. You will be forever in my heart and memories. Thank you for everything. I love and miss you. Heather G
