So many memories of Aunt Mim -- from childhood in her Brooklyn kitchen to The Highlands. She was one-of-a-kind and they broke the mold when she came into this world. I think of her whenever I look at her cookie jar, which proudly sits in our kitchen. Michael and I both pray she is at peace, and not giving Uncle Donald or Nana too hard a time. We will miss her.

I had the pleasure of caring for Mim at the Highlands. She was a great woman, could be quite a pip at times, but I loved being around her. My condolences to her family, she will be greatly missed.
