With deepest sympathy to the Minga family. It was my good fortune to be able to visit with Melvin and Maggie when they attended the plays at SLT and I was ticket chairman. A very friendly and delightful couple always. May all the special memories each of you hold dear to you bring you comfort in the days ahead. God’s Blessings to all.

Sincere sympathy to the Minga Family. No Carisbrooke Gathering, Chili-cook-off, Parade or party was complete unless the M & M couple was present. Here in Western PA, I have wonderful memories of the Mingas. Peace.
