To Mr. Minter's family and friends,
I am so sorry to read about the passing of Mr. Minter. He and Ms. Betty were very good friends of my Mom and Dad (Thomas and Mary Mathis--both of whom are deceased). Our families went on many picnics and fishing outings. They were Lways so nice and he always said I was like his daughter. As a matter of fact, if you look in his wallet, you will see that he still carries my 1st grade school picture in it. I just wanted to send my condolences to all of you. may God carry you all through the days ahead.
