To the family of Ken Minix, my deepest sympathy. Ken's wife, Verna was a dear friend of mine, we worked together in the Dept of Surgery at UTHSC and we shared and enjoyed many conversations about life.
I will always remember Verna and the "Ken" she talked about, and have as a remembrance beautiful red and white Amarylis bulbs she brought me from her garden. She was a special lady and I was sorry to hear that she had passed away. May God's blessing be on Ken and his family at this troubling time.
