Mimi, my great-aunt, who with her two sisters, Cotty and Dotty (my grandma), raised my mom and her brother, and has been like another Grandmother to me, had a massive stroke Friday evening. My mom, brother, sister, and I were able to come up to Reno to be with her and say goodbye. I was with her all day today and shortly after the priest came to give her her last rites, and the 49ers and Giants both won (she was a big fan!), Mimi passed away peacefully while I was by her side.
I know she is in a better place and with her sisters and brother. I miss her already. Thank you all for the kind thoughts and prayers this weekend. I so appreciate you guys being there for me and my family.
My heart is broken.
I love you Mimi.
xoxo Carrie

Carrie I as so sorry for your loss. I love your writing about her, your trips to see her, the socks you knitted for her. I lost my dad 7 years ago and my mom a year ago July27. Hearing about your trips let me live covertly with your Mimi. I hope you continue to tell us about your family, especially about Mimi. Take care--

Your Winnie socks were a beautiful tribute to Mimi. It is so special that the Winnie socks I knit won a ribbon at the county fair just last week. In honor of Mimi I think.
Take care and God Bless you

Oh Carrie I'm so sorry. I will say you look just like Mimi and that is a good thing. I'm glad her family was able to gather round and all her football teams won. g
Awww, Carrie I'm so sorry. My sweet mommy also died from disabling strokes and cardiovascular disease. It's so very sad to see our beloved angels here on earth go to heaven, but as you said, they are in a better place & free from suffering.
Love,
