Velma Lorraine Pitman "Mimi"
July 20, 1920 – December 14, 2007

Shortly after midnight Friday, my grandmother passed away. She was the single most incredible person I've ever been so blessed to know.

Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with cancer. She opted against treatment and chose instead to go out on her own terms. Though this was difficult to take, knowing it was her decision made letting go infinitely easier.

Mimi achieved in death that measure of grace so many of us strive for all our lives, and brought joy and vibrance to the worlds of those around her. In passing, she has filled those in her heart with a warm, enduring love. She will be sorely missed; forever a reminder of everything true and good in this world.

I love you Mimi. I miss you.
