Dear Jenny, Steve, and Erich,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I only knew Minnie for a short time but she certainly touched my heart. May you find peace knowing she's in a much better place.

With our Deepest Sympathy. Minnie along with Ed, were part of the cornerstone of our Little League. For many years they were heavily involved, Ed as President of Council, and Minnie as president of the ladies Auxiliary. From there serving as Ed's assistant D.A. for some 30 years. Volunteers with that type of commitment are hard to find in todays society. Our flag at Northwest flies at half-mast in memory and honor of Minnie. Little Leaguers everywhere are lucky to have had you as a volunteer and friend.

My deepest sympathy. Many times I think of the good times we had in Williamsport, at the Congress in Reno and the New England Cruise. I know she is in a better place now and would not want to go on the way she was. Remember the good times and keep in touch.

Baba,
I will always remember you sitting in your recliner knitting. You also made the best halupkies, cabbage and noodles and Christmas cookies.
You were a kind and generous person and you will be missed by all.
Love you, Jenny, Steve, and Erich

Dear Mr. Weiss; Edward and Kathleen; Jenny, Steve, and Erich
Minnie was truly a great lady. I will always remember her cabbage and noodles, lamb cake at Easter, and Christmas cookies. Although it was hard to let her go I hope you find comfort in the fact that she is with her Lord now and how full of joy she must been when he took her in his arms.
Love you
Leslie and Bob
