Ted,I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Minnie was a wonderful, sweet and passionate woman. I will always remember the times we shared working and "clowning" Precious memories how they linger how they ever flood my soul. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Praying that God will give each of you the strength and peace that you need in the days to come.
