I am so heart broken to have learned Mimi is gone. She was such a great addition to our little football group and her insights on the Cowboys were so often spot on. Jamie please know your mother was so loved by us <3
My deepest condolences to the family.
Jamie and Family I am so sorry to here about your Mom’s passing. I will always rememeber her with love. She had an amazing memory for birthdays and never forgot mine! I enjoyed the 18 years of working with her at MCD. I thought of her often and missed working with her these last few years. I will always remember her for her devotion and love of the Cowboys. Her stories about you and your kids always made me laugh. Peace be with you in this time of sorrow. Your Mom was a very special lady. May God’s love surround you and comfort you.
My heart goes out to the family. I know you will miss her so much. I only met Gail in person once for a brief time but felt I had known her for a long time. I know she had a deep love for her family and was so proud of her grandchildren. I loved chatting with her about her travels and her other love ‘the cowboys”. Her passing was a shock but I am happy she was surrounded by her loved ones. She lived a wonderful, full life and was loved by many. God Bless!
I was so very sorry to hear about Gail. We were good friends in high school at Lake Highlands and grew up in the same neighborhood. She was a sweet girl. I will miss her.
