Mimi

Yesterday I lost my grandmother, Mimi. She was 91 years old. It is so hard to say goodbye to such a loving, wonderful person. She was a huge influence in my life. She was born in 1922, only went to school through the 6th grade, worked hard for most of her life, was an incredible cook/baker, and loved playing the guitar, piano and harmonica. She had 4 children, 6 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Mimi taught me many things including an appreciation for cooking and baking, the importance of a clean house, the love of music, and most importantly the love of Christ. I  can't say enough about this woman who was so close to my heart. A piece of my soul died with her yesterday but she certainly lives on in my memory. You will be greatly missed Mimi! I know you are playing that harmonica for Jesus today!

One of Mimi's visits to Valdosta. She loved playing the harmonica for people. Ellie and Emma loved it!

This video is a candid one that I happened to record at Christmas when Ellie was about 3 months old. Ellie was having a serious conversation with Mimi:)
