Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to the Minzel Family:
Ned and I attended Hutton together, spent many memorable times throughout high school, and enjoyed r/c flying together.

We will miss him greatly.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you... My heart is hurting... Nancy (Wolfe) Binns

To the Minzel Family:
My mind is mesmerized by the glowing embers as the Tamarack whispers its noise of familiarity. The crackling of wood with popping sparks fluttering up through the dancing flames; a reflection that carries me along with a sense of well-being and warmth. In this trance of twisting flames, unassuming as they are, captivate me, keep me company, then fade into passing thoughts. Like fanning a fire, the flickering thoughts soon become a distant memory only to be rekindled...

Amedee and Family; we are so sorry for your loss. Ned was a great guy; I always remember him being so quiet around the house but pleasant. Amedee I rememeber in 6th grade hanging out at your house; we were always singing and acting goofy. Well you ran to the kitchen for something and I was singing at the top of my lungs thinking that it was you and I in the house alone; sure enough I turn around and theres your dad. I was so embarased and hid around the corner; he teased me forever about...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

One of the many Hayden Lake weekends!

Claudia and family. What can I say that hasn't been said by many, many people. Ned was a funny, memorable, thoroughly outrageous individual. He was my fearless leader in the Husky/Cougar debate. I followed where ever he led and we usually ended up in trouble. Love him to death. Sincerest sympathies to all of you.

You and your family are in out thoughts and prayers.

Claudia and family, Our deepest sympathy to you in your loss of a marvelous man. We will always remember our fun times on Huckleberry Bay and the laughs Ned provided. Especially Ned shooting canons at the Rebel Flag; plus our Winter Knights association. We are sorry that we can't be there on Saturday, we are in AZ. May your beautiful memories bring comfort to each of you. God Bless. Chuck and Anna Mae Luther.
