The family is so thankful for the care of Covenant Care Hospice and the 24/7 loving hands of Mimi’s grandchildren, Christopher and Noelle, who massaged, pampered, read, and sang to Mimi during the final 11 days of her life. Arrangements under the direction of Radney Funeral Home-Mobile, Mobile, AL.
