Prayers for Mitchell, Marshall, Nancy, John, and all family members and friends. Who of those (thru the years) that lived in Cartwright, Daus, Dunlap, Cagle, Fredonia, Lewis Chapel, Center Hill, and Signal Mtn didn't know Mrs. Minnie? She was a wonderful soul who loved her family, friends, and community. God grants us memories to help fill the void of our departed loved ones. Rely, cherish, and share these memories with all who miss her.
Prayers,
H. Earline Hornbeak Guida
