I so am sorry. Mrs. Minor was a warm, kind and loving person. I was a good friend to her daughter Marilyn for a long time, had many sleep-overs, and fun times with Minor family. Mrs. Minor was very giving to us and also included us in her ceramic activities including annual shows at the Sunnybank Art Festival. I also remember how she loved her dear beautiful Irish Wolfhounds Casey and then Shadow. I will always remember Mrs. Minor fondly.

Mrs. Miner was such a loving ceramic teacher and helped me to become the artist that I am today. She encouraged me to paint in my own way and always was so sweet. What a lovely women both inside and out. My heart goes out to her loved ones.
