What a great blessing it is to know that Grandma is at home with her Savior. It's been a terribly sad week for all of us, but God's timing is perfect. I'm so happy for all the memories we have with her and it will be a joy to spend eternity with her. We sure did love her.

I will always remember Minnie and my Grandma (Ruth Mills) watching Wheel of Fortune and solving the problems of the world. :) They took such good care of each other as neighbors and friends. I will be praying for your family.

Minnie was a precious soul to God and all who knew her. She was a such a good friend to my Mother, Ruth Mills. They spent alot of time together before Mom passed away and Minnie moved to Hampton. Good Bless You and Keep you close during this time.

Sorry to learn of Minnie's death, but know she's so much better off than we. She was a precious lady, and I enjoyed Christian fellowship with her during her time at Denbigh Baptist. It is difficult when our Mothers leave us, but we can be assured we'll meet and dwell with them throughout eternity. Num 6:24-26
