"Heaven gained a beautiful soul on August 28. I remember Minnie as the most patient person I have ever met in my life. She was a wonderful grandmother to my three sons, and I will be ever grateful for the many hours she spent caring for them when they were young. They are all grown men now, but they benefitted from the love and kindness of this warm and loving woman. Rest In Peace, Minnie. ??"
