Not sure what to say?

Went to school with Doug and Melissa (and just saw them at our reunion last fall). Sending my prayers and condolences to the entire family during this trying time.

To Doug, Kevin, Kathy, Tom - I'd like to extend my deepest sympathies to all of you and your families. Your Mom was the definition of class. I fondly remember working for Dunkel Roofing and every summer she would request me to paint the front porch and would bring me iced tea and we would talk about our families. My heart goes out to all of you.

Minta has been a genuine friend that anyone could ever hope for.
She listened without judgment, compassionate and always had kind words to say about everything.
She loved her family deeply And cherished her friends.
Im grateful to know her, we shared alot of good days & laughter. Im proud to call her my forever friend!
I miss her so much!
Love,
Lori Stojek

So sorry to hear of Minta´s passing. My late wife, Donna and I met Minta and Bud on Guam in the mid 50's when we were in the same Air Force Rescue Squadron. They were a delightful couple and very good friends. When we were having a base carnival, Bud and I went to Japan to purchase toy presents for our squadron's "fish to you win" stand. Armed with a note written in Japanese, we went to an open air wholesale toy district. For $700 we filled up a cargo plane with toys and had probably the...

Minta & Bud will both be missed .Them and their family helped my wife and i to start our lives with our family.
