I was a 16 year old cashier at Erb’s Grocery Store in East Pete when Mim worked in the office in the evenings. She was one of the most influential people in my young life. She was kind and friendly and always hustling. Her work ethic was unmatched. I was so fond of her and so grateful to have known her. My sympathies to her family. She was a gem.

I am so sorry to read of Mims passing. She was a very nice and funny lady.I often talked with her at Erbs and then Weiss. We would discuss how I made out at the casino. One day I lost my wallet at the store and when I got home there was a message from Mim that she found it at the store.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE MIM.
