hole in our hearts

Wednesday morning we got the crushing news.

Mimi is no longer here on earth with us.


We have had many good times with Mimi.

After all we live the next street over!

We are all extremely sad!

The full force of not having her here has not hit us yet.

We know that where she is there is no pain.

We miss you and love you greatly!
