From a great niece of the Holland/Vaughan side of the family, we all have fond memories from holidays spent with Aunt Minnie. I know my mother Jackie loved her dearly and passed that love on to us. So sorry that we are unable to be there for her service. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
