Our deepest sympathy in your loss of Aunt Minnie. I have fond memories of her and Uncle Darb even though it had been years since we had seen them. I loved their zeal for life and hospitality. Mom (Barbara Smith) is saddened as she has such fond memories and wished she could have made it from Ohio to the funeral. Blessings to all and you will be in our prayers.
