She still believed in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and passed away holding her doll. She was very safety conscious, locking various family members out on several occasions. Any misplaced items would also find their way into her room. She was known to those who loved her as the princess, and will be remembered for some of her favourite expressions, such as: Scram, I’m the boss, hold your horses, not me, I’m deaf, my hands are cold, no heat in here, tastes like dog food, he’s coming, you big balloon, you sit in the back-I sit in the front, I’m rich, your still alive, not your business, I like the moustache, I’m going to New York, stop talking, you’re the best, It’s my weekend, the laundry-it’s my job, my arms are too short, big like a giant, it’s mine, not my fault, I need the crown. Mimi attended Jobs Unlimited. Her family would like to thank the South Side Special Care Home and especially Anna Ranger for her love and attention.
The family will receive visitors at River Valley Funeral Services, 50 Avonlea Court, Fredericton (455-4267) on Saturday, January 18th, 2003 from 2-4 PM.
