Mimi, as we called her was an amazing care taker for me when I was younger. She was always kind and caring and just all around fantastic. She will be missed greatly.
Mary, or as my family called her mimi , was an amazing caretaker of my sisters and I. When I think back to my childhood I remember all the fun times we spent at her house. She was the closest thing we had to a grandparent in Wichita. I will miss her dearly.
