Not sure what to say?

Kelly and Minerva were long time friends. Kelly and I were instrumental in forming the IH Collectors chapter 10 and worked together to further the ongoing development of the I&I Tractor and Gas-engine Club. We worked together for many years during that process. I considered them both to be good and long lasting friends. I will miss them both.

I would like to be have the honor of knowing Minerva Birkey. She was the most delightful person around. I will miss her dearly, but I had the joy of helping taking care of them it was a joy. She was always a joy to be around. See you when we meet again Mary.
