Tribute to Mimi

Mimi forever stitched herself into all of our hearts, and just like a quilt, stitched all of us into her heart. But to her, we were not just a piece of fabric, we were part of her family, and she loved us unconditionally. Everyone she met was a piece of that quilt, and she never stopped sewing and making it bigger, making sure all of the pieces fit together perfectly. On Sunday (1-3-2010), when Mimi met Jesus, her quilt was finally finished. And it was big, because she loved so many people. Now that she is in Heaven, and we don't have anymore worries, we can celebrate the wonderful life she lived. We can all take a deep breath and know she's home and watching over all of us. She was a wonderful grandma, mother, wife, aunt, sister and friend. Thank you to those who attended the memorial celebration of her life. You were all a part of Mimi's quilt and she'll stay sewn in your heart forever.

Memorials can be given to the Children's Fund in Ruthann's memory to the Brooklyn Presbyterian Church.

Many thanks to those who have been praying and otherwise showing their support to our family. God bless you all.

Heaven bound

Mimi passed away this morning at 5am. Papa and I came up last night to see her and she looked very peaceful and comfortable.

The nurses and nurse assistants have been absolutely wonderful here at the Allegiance Hospice Home. Very compassionate, caring, understanding; making sure not only that Mimi was comfortable but that we too were taken care of.

God bless each of you who have been praying for Mimi. She is now in God's hands and walking with her family and friends in Heaven.

Love you all.....
