Jan, Larry and family, Bruce, Madalyn and family and Uncle John, I am so sorry for your loss. I love you guys, and I loved Aunt Minnie dearly. I have many memories of fun times spent with your family. Aunt Minnie was my mom’s best friend. When mom was dying, she wrote Aunt Minnie a note telling her that she loved her like a sister. I think that Mom was waiting at the gates of Heaven to welcome Aunt Minnie home. Aunt Minnie will be missed here on Earth, but she is truly home now and free of pain. I pray that God will comfort your family as only he can do. May you find peace and comfort in your many precious memories.

A beautiful, wonderful lady has left this old world and entered Heaven’s gates. Aunt Minnie will be greatly missed by her family and friends, but may we all take comfort in the sure knowledge that she is now in a far better place–a place where there is no sickness, pain, or death. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May a lifetime of wonderful memories of a very special person sustain during this very difficult time. And may the God of all comfort be with you now and always.
