MIMIS LOVE
[Dedicated to Monica, Emily & Sydnie]
I heard a voice from up above.
Sounded like Mimi sending her love.
She said she hoped that youre all right.
And to think of her when the stars are bright.
When the clouds are near, youll see her face,
Shes there with God, and in his grace.
If times get tough, just say a prayer,
Remember Mimi, for she is there.
Shes with you always, night and day,
She listens closely to what you say.
Shell see you grow, and change, and such,
The wind you feel will be her touch.
Look for Mimi your whole life long,
For shell be keeping you safe and strong.
And if you think shed ever part,
Youll find Mimi in your heart.
Love,
Debby Grimm

Monica,
I'm sure you've never heard of me but Jeannine and I were high school sweet hearts and she left such an impression on me that I never forgot her. I guess it's true that you never forget your first real love. I tried to find where she had gone after several years but never did so was not able to contact her.
I can only imagine that she was a wonderful woman and mother.
You have my very deepest sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss.
