A remarkable lady with an inquiring mind. Often ahead of her time but never forgeting history and it’s lessons as related to current events or plans for the future. A great teacher who led by example, never stopping in her quest for knowledge or efforts to pass it along for the benefit of others. Thanks Aunt Mims for your part in getting me out of the hills and showing me how the world works. May you rest in peace knowing the flame of your inspiration continues to burn bright as lessons taught continue to be applied.
