We loved Mimi. She was an inspiration to us all. I've always admired her for just telling it like it is! Her faith in God was strong and she didn't know a stanger. She loved us all as if we were her own. We will miss having her at various family events such as birthdays and holidays. We love you Mimi!

Mrs. Dee was truly an inspiration to me. I had the honor of attending church with her. I looked forward to that little kiss on the cheek and the words of encouragement she would give me. She was such a fine lady. Knowing her made me a better person. Rest in peace my dear friend and don't shake too many bushes in heaven, save some for me.
