My sweet grandmother, Mimi (and the last of my grandparents) died yesterday. She was almost 86 years old. I am so thankful that I was able to go to Amarillo 3 times in the last 3 months to see her. She was also able to meet Truman (and sometimes she thought that Truman was my mom and dad's 4th child). Anyone who knew her will miss her, she was such a little spit fire and quite witty until the end! She had a love for scrabble, boggle ...and collecting cardboard and boxes! But most of all, she loved her family! She was always so affirming and made you feel so special. Although I will miss her dearly, she is now in heaven where she belongs. I love you Mimi, will miss you dearly, and look forward to seeing you again!!Clipping from the Amarillo Globe News:
Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday in St. Peters Episcopal Church with the Rev. Dru Ferguson officiating. Burial will be at 1 p.m. in Llano Cemetery. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2800 Paramount, Blvd.
