Loved her smile and she was too funny when Pawpaw would start telling a joke she must have heard a hundred times...she would roll her eyes and say,"Oh, Allen...not again!" My sympathies and prayers to the family and friends of the lady affectionately known as Mimi.

Well, Mama Gil has finally reached her reward, and it is a good one!!! She raised her three kids, Debbie, Andy and Mark. She also raised many of their friends. She watched and cheered for many of us who played ball at PNG. She gave advise, she watched over us when we did stupid things and she never missed a beat or raised her voice. She cooked for us and helped when we didn't feel good. She taught us appreciation and nothin is free. She wanted all of us of to succeed, and did what she could to help us do that. She cried with us when our classmates passed away at young ages, because they belonged to her too. The pain will heal in time, but the empty spot she leaves will be missed by all from now on. Rest in peace Patsy.
