Dear Mrs. Minasian and Family:



I have been a friend of Claudine's since junior high school, and I want to offer my condolances for the loss of your husband and the children's "Papa."



I would also like to mention how beautiful Nicolle's note is, and how touched her "Papa" would be.



God Bless you all.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the friends and family who have been so supportive to our family over this past week. Although 87 years is a long life, it cannot take away from the void that my Papa's death has left in my heart. He will be missed so much and there aren't words to describe the feeling of not being able to hug him or see him again. There were so many who loved him and he has left many memories that will stay with us all forever. Again, thank you all for being so supportive through this very difficult time. For those who know her, I ask that you call or write my grandma every once in a while to let her know you are thinking of her...I would really appreciate it. Her email is [email protected]. I am sure she would appreciate your love and thoughfulness. I cannot imagine what she feels inside after losing someone she has been with everyday for over 60 years! Take care, Nicolle

I am an old friend of Claudine's through the SP. We worked together on the phone in the accident bureau and when finished with business would talk about our families and I have met her a few times in SF while attending business. She wrote me about her father-in-law and I want to express my deepest sympathy to her, Larry, their kids and her busband's family in the loss of Larry's father. I know the loss as I have experienced it and hope you have as many great memories as I have to get you through the rough waters ahead.

May my father-in-law finally rest in peace. I know he is with Grandma and Granddaddy and his brothers now and they are all keeping care of each other. It won't be the same without him around. He was our Family Matriarch and rock in our family. We all miss him already. Lovingly, Claudine

Mrs. Minasian,



I remember my dad always having the best stories to tell of the days of growing up in San Francisco. Vic Minasian was a name that was often in the "telling" of such wonderful memories for him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time. But I can't help but think that he and Phil are once again sitting and chuckling as they exchange some of those fond memories. -The Phil Mullan Family-
