Melissa—aka Mimi—was a model Matriarch of the family, she lived her life to the fullest and was the happiest person we all knew. Her passing is a tragic loss to the family, but we are all comforted knowing how many people love her, and how many people she loved. In true Mimi fashion the family wishes to come together to celebrate her life, the memories she helped create, and enjoy one another with good food and wine.

A celebration of Mimi’s life will be held in Auburn, CA on Saturday, December 8, 2018 from 2pm - 5pm. For those who may not be able to come, we are planning (wi-fi permitting) on organizing a private video broadcast for people to participate and share their memories from afar.

We are requesting prompt RSVP for those who will attend in person by October 26 so a proper venue can be secured. Please RSVP via this website.

We will be compiling a photo book about Mimi’s life so we are requesting any photos, videos, and stories you have about Mimi. You can upload them on this website in the "share your memories" section below.

If you're looking for places to stay, there are plenty of great Airbnb's and VRBO's in the area for groups of people to rent. Please email or call if you need a second opinion on a reservation you are considering.
