Curtis,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Find comfort in knowing that she is with the Lord. May the comfort of the Spirit of God be with you.
Hattie, my mother, does not have a computer, but wanted me to relay our deepest sympathy to you and your family. While living in the Norvella Heights Neighborhood during the 1950’s, Minnie was a neighbor and good friend of mom and Letha Englehart. Hattie remembers every Halloween they would dress up in costumes to celebrate the holiday. This one year they dressed up as sailors and went to the naval base as a joke. Her sense of humor was undeniable and her joy in life was remarkable. The neighborhood ladies also were members of a sewing club, but they did not sew. It was an excuse to get together and party. I have attached a few pictures from that special time. Minnie will surely be missed.
