I am glad to have talked to her after she got hair done a few weeks ago.
As usual, she was happy.
We go back to riding the school bus together.
My sympathy goes out to you all!

We will miss our Mimi in "the hood". She was always making us laugh with our nicknames! Mimi always made us feel special when we were together. She took me to pick corn for the first time. God bless Kelley and family.
Memory Eternal!
With Love, (Neighbors"Hemi Dan and "Gang Member"Denise)
