JImmy and Gary
Please accept our deepest sympathy at this time. Your Mom(Mimi) is someone I will never forget! We all had some of the best times together at Rehoboth, antiquing and of course family parties. I just recently sold to an antique dealer a piece I bought in Rehoboth with her and Doris and your dear Dad delivered it to me.I don’t need it here n Florida but what a story comes with that piece.
