You filled darkness with light, Born with grace Honored with beauty. From your home, friends, and family You rose for life's advancement, Alone to a new city You journeyed with courage. Ethiopian culture in your heart Amharic you cherished with love, You saw everyone equally Stood for truth, fought for justice. For others more than yourself you cared Until their problems solved, you didn't sleep, Worried for all, troubled for all In giving you were exhausted, depleted. Children you loved with affection Funny and playful when the time called Filled with humility Through weakness you passed. Now God has called you: "My daughter, come to your rest On earth you are complete Your tears are wiped away. Give no more, tire no more Shine your light in heaven Your work is finished Come rest with Me." Mimi, your journey is complete But your memory will remain, In our hearts, in our lives Forever you will live. Today we cry, tomorrow we remember Your love, your sacrifice, As you shine your light in heaven We continue your legacy on earth. Rest in peace, dear Mimi May your light shine in heaven May your soul rest in paradise God bless you. Amen.

A Crown for Mimi Mimi, gentle soul so rare, God’s own reflection in your care, You walked this earth with open hands, Fulfilling heaven’s quiet plans. You lifted hearts, you eased the pain, You bore the loss, you bore the strain, And though your body grew so weak, Your spirit spoke what words can’t speak. Now heaven crowns your faithful race, With robes of light and endless grace, “Well done,” the Savior says to thee, “Come rest, My child—eternally.”

የሚሚ ብርሃን ሚሚ፣ ውድ ሚሚ፣ ጨለማን በብርሃን ቀየርሽ፣ በፍቅር የተሞላ ልብሽ ለዓለም ብርሃን ሆነ። በድፍረት መንገድ ጀመርሽ፣ ብቻሽን ከቤት ወጥተሽ፣ እውነትን አቆምሽ፣ ፍትሕን ተከታተልሽ። አሁን ግን ጌታ ጠርቶሻል፣ “ልጄ ና፣ እረፍትሽን ተቀበይ” እንባሽ ተሰርዟል፣ በሰማይ ብርሃንሽ ትበራለች።

Heaven Has a New Light Heaven shines a little more, Since Mimi passed that golden door, Angels welcomed her by name, A life of love—no loss, no shame. The hands that served, the heart that bled, Now lifted high, no tears to shed, Her weary steps now dance with grace, Before her Savior, face to face. Though we still ache and feel the pain, We know our loss is heaven’s gain, For Mimi lives, she’s not gone far, She shines above us like a star.

ሰማይ አዲስ ብርሃን ተቀበለ ሰማይ ዛሬ ብርሃን ጨመረ፣ ሚሚ ወደ ክብር ተጠራች፣ መላእክት በደስታ ተቀበሏት፣ የፍቅር ሕይወቷን መስክረዋት። እኛ ብንለቅስም በተስፋ እንቆማለን፣ ሞት መጨረሻ አይደለም እናውቃለን፣ ሚሚ ትኖራለች በጌታ ፊት፣ በዘላለም ሰላም እና ብርሃን።
