Holding Great-Grandson Caiden for 1st Time, May 2006
My Grandparents and Parents, Dec 2008My Mimi passed away this past week. There are so many things I would love to say about her but I know I could fill pages about how special she was and yet never perfectly express how much I love and miss her. So I will give you a few amazing things about her:
* She was an amazing seamstress. No one can make embroidered anything the way she could and she saw a need for embroidery on everything.
* She would send me money when she knew I was tight, with a note stating she wanted nothing in return, not even a thank-you.
* She could down scotch and water like it was only water.
* Until the last time I saw her, she always waved to my kids with her little wave and said Hi Beck and Hi Caid even when she couldn't say anything else.
* She clung to her purse like it was her source of air. She took them to the restroom and bed with her.
* She loved the Chicago Bears.
* She collected everything.
* Mary E. Armstrong was just an absolutely amazing woman!
