To the Family of Minnie:



I worked with Minnie at Flint-Goodrige Hospital of Dillard Unniversity. Minnie was a very caring and loving person. I last spoke with Minnie in the early nineties when she called to inform me that a former Flint-Goodridge Hospital co-worker (Connie Johnson) had passed away. Minnie hadn't arrived at the church when I went to pay my respects, but I did speak with her shortly afterwards. You have my deepest sympathy. She was a wonderful person.

To the family of Sis. Butler I would like to tell you that she has been an encouragement in my personal life for years. From the time of being single to the time when I became married with my 2 children. She even extended that love to my husband. She always had something positive to say and was always willing to give a word that would encourage you at all times. She will truly be missed as well as cherished for her strength and encouragement.

Sister Minnie was a blessing to the body of Christ. A true example of what a soldier, in the army Lord, should be. She will be greatly missed.
