With heavy hearts, our family mourns the sudden loss of two of our three beautiful and belovedSiamese Sweeties, Mimi and Kiki. This loss has been incredibly devastating for our family. Mimi and Kiki are survived by my husband their daddy , Titi their baby Siamese sister beauty, my mom (their grandma) , and I. They were welcomed in heaven by my late brother and father. Tragically, we lost them both just three weeks apart. The sisters spent their entire lives together, andwe believe that our gentle Mimi passed away from a broken heart after being separated from Kiki,despite the health challenges they suddenly faced.They were the most gorgeous cats inside and out.Mimi was our first daughter; she made me a mommy. With her sweet personality and gentle soul,she brought joy to my days, always making me laugh and smile with her adorable mannerisms.She was truly special and one of the most lovable cats anyone could ever be fortunate enough tohave (alongside Kiki and Titi).Kiki blessed our lives four months after Mimi, and the two were inseparable, sharing anextraordinary bond that I have never seen before. Kiki was my sidekick, she was truly my best friend and brought me an indescribable amount ofjoy. Her around the clock presence and being by my side brought me the most happiness I haveever felt. She was sweet and perfect in everyway and I adored how talkative she was with the mostprecious, cutest high pitch raspy meow.Their remarkable intelligence and unique, human-like personalities made them incredibly special.Always chatty, loving, and loyal, they were the best sisters to each other and to their one-and-a-half-year-old sister, Titi. They brightened our lives and were the greatest blessings, gifts from God.My family and I are heartbroken. They were there for many significant moments in our lives: theloss of my brother, our wedding, a cross-country move, college graduations, buying our first home,and the entire journey of creating this company.They gave my life purpose. I believe God brought them into my life to be their mama and myhusband to be their daddy, fulfilling their role as our beloved babies. They were meant to be sistersand were amazing sisters to Titi, who misses them dearly and has been a tremendous supportduring this challenging time. We are so thankful for her. I needed them more than anything, and they made my life complete. The only peace and solace we have is that they are now together with the Lord, my brother, andmy father. They send us beautiful signs that they are still with us, though it remains difficult. I pray for their happiness and unity until we meet again. Thank you, Mimi and Kiki, for makingmy life so special and meaningful. Not a day will pass when I won’t think of you and feel grateful tohave had you as my daughters. I will love you forever, Mimi and Kiki my beautiful babies. I cannotwait until our whole family is reunited and we meet again. Pictured from left to rightKiki, Titi & Mimi

22| December 2024| The Hamptons EditAround TownThe Montauk Lighthouse, located at the eastern tip of LongIsland, New York, is an iconic structure with a rich historythat dates back to the early 19th century. Its constructionwas driven by the need to improve maritime safety along thetreacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean.The idea for the lighthouse emerged after several shipwrecksoccurred in the area, prompting local and federal authoritiesto take action. In 1792, the Lighthouse Act was passed, whichallowed for the establishment of lighthouses in the UnitedStates. George Washington, as the first President, played apivotal role in promoting the construction of lighthouses tosafeguard maritime navigation.In 1860, the lighthouse was upgraded to a first-order Fresnellens, which significantly improved its visibility and range.Today, the Montauk Lighthouse is not only a functioning aidto navigation but also a historic landmark and a populartourist destination. It is a testament to the early efforts ofthe United States to establish a reliable maritimeinfrastructure, reflecting both the vision of GeorgeWashington and the continuing importance of lighthouses inensuring the safety of seafarers.Montauk Point LighthouseMontauk Point State Park2000 Montauk HighwayMontauk, NY 11954
