Min was a good friend of mine. We had the same interests. I met her at a book club here in Florida. She was so talented; could make lovely jewelry, could do anything artistic, and could write a novel too. She loved attending the Kennedy Award Ceremony and would tell me about that.
In the summer, I would return to Illinois and she to Maryland, but w kept up with each other. I did visit her at the Imperial and saw how ill she was. It made me feel so sad.
In life, we have many friends, but Min was so very special. I hope she treasured me as much as I did her.
Her family was blessed to have such a person in their lives.

I was so very fond of Min.We met at a book group here in Florida and were friends right away. Wha a gifted and vibrant lady. She was so very talented. I count her as a very good friend who will always remain with me. She was truly a most wonderful lady. Min gave me a copy of her book and signed it for me. What a thrill! Sorry such a great human being had to suffer the end of her life.

Dear Lisa and Jeff,

So very sad to learn about Min's passing. There are so many memories that I have it's hard to just say one of them. I remember when we were kids celebrating the high holidays together. Your mom and dad throwing that awesome anniversary party for my mom and dad. Don't ask me why but I even remember what the cake looked like that your mom made for the celebration - so sweet.
I "ll always remember how she stayed with Andy, Nancy, and I when my mom had her heart attack - such a dear friend. And being at your house with your mom and dad when we flew to Maryland to bury my mom. Min was so woven into our lives and we loved her so much. She had such a spark and her and my mom were so cute as friends together. It goes without saying how greatly she will be missed.

Much love to both you and Jeff and your families -
Deb
