Richard, Steven and Michele and family, So sad to learn of Mimi's passing. I suddenly have a huge craving for maplebuds. So many memories flooding in of all the, what then seemed rouitine and now represent special family gatherings, from the Sunday night dinners, the sedars and high holidays, the golf club, Palm Springs and more. As I reflect back, I realize and appreciate just how grounded our families were in each others lives. Sending lots of love and strength.

Dear Bass Family: I am shocked and saddened to see that Mimi has passed away. We were high school friends in Winnipeg and maintained that friendship when our family moved to Toronto. It has been a while since we had seen each other, but could always "pick up where we left off" each time. It is never easy to lose a loved one, especially a beloved mother; May all your good and loving memories comfort you always. Sincerely, Geitie Kramer

Very sorry to hear the news of the passing of Mimi Bass. Having known her and her family for almost 57 years she was like my second mother growing up as we lived down the Street on Otonabee and her son Steven has always been my best friend since she 5. I have fond memories of her always feeding me her fabulous Bundt cakes at the kitchen table. My thoughts and prayers are with her children and Grand Children in this difficult time of mourning .
