Sorry I did not add you, sorry for your loss
Scott

In the days since Mom’s passing, I’ve reflected on the values of her life’s lessons she instilled. Be humble. You’re no better than anyone else. Don’t lie steal or cheat. She despised these acts. Don’t be a sore looser. Don’t be lazy. Be self reliant. She taught me how to bleed a furnace and change oil in a car or lawn mower. She was very proud of repairs she’d made that involved things like soup cans around a car exhaust or hot water vent. While she appreciated a job well done, don’t be afraid to tackle a project. It may not come out perfect the first time but be proud you did it. She taught me to never say, I can’t do that. Be frugal. Money doesn’t grow on trees. Wear a coat or you’ll catch your death of a cold or pneumonia. No means no. Be a good friend. If they asked for a favor, they probably didn’t make that request lightly. Mom would drop everything to help a friend. Be fearless. The only thing she was afraid of was snakes and she even overcame that fear. And finally keep dog and cat treats everywhere. You never know when you’ll need them. Eternal love Mom. Rest In Peace. 

I am so sorry to hear about Mim passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. We had some fun times together going out and dancing. I remember Mim and Larry use to live just down the road from us and she would stop in and visit with Mom and I. Having coffee etc. She will be missed.


aunt mim and uncle larry used to play canasta with my parents. i remember the laughing, bickering and stories...aunt mim always made sure to ask us how school was, or  were we having a fun summer. her laughter made you laugh....


To the Barlow Family:
I was saddened to hear about Mim's passing. I hope and pray that
you will have strength during this time of loss. Mim was a lot of
fun to hang out with and a nice lady. 

Nanny,
It’s never easy saying goodbye but you’ve left us with so many unforgettable memories. It would be impossible to not smile warmly after remembering the adventures we took. You taught me at an early age what a healthy vengeance looks like in card games, how to tell if your baked goods are completely cooked based on smell, and how to drive at a questionably young age. You taught me to love nature and appreciate a good camp fire. You tried to pass on your green thumb and love for plants to me but unfortunately that is one quality I never quite succeeded at. As you take your hatchback Subaru for one last ride to the pearly gates to be greeted by two loving grandsons and your beloved cat, Babe, know that everyone here will continue to remember a lifetime of incredible memories we shared with you. Love you forever and always. 

Nanny, 
Where do I even start? Thank you for being there for me for all these years. So many of my best childhood memories include you, from camping, fishing, swimming, learning to drive years before I was legally allowed on the road, and sitting around your kitchen table playing endless hours of card games. You were always up for an adventure and loved taking your grandkids along for the ride. I am so grateful that my children got to know and love their great grandma and spend quality time with you while you were in CT. I will treasure those memories forever. I know you are at peace now and I hope that you were greeted at those gates with the biggest hugs from your grandsons. I love you always. 

Rest in peace Nanny Mim, thank you for being the best Nanny ever and thanks for being a  good friend to me always. My condolences to all the family. 

Oh Nanny, we will miss you so much. We will find you in our trips camping, when the hummingbirds visit the feeders, and when the wind chimes sing. Every time I say, "That's Crazy!" I'll hear you reply, "It's not crazy, it's fun!". Rest forever in peace. We love you...
