You all are still always in our thoughts & prayers. Mina was a very special & wonderful lady! We will never forget her & Uncle John! I remember coming over around Christmas one year, & my favorite Christmas cartoon was on, she had my dad (Ted.) & Uncle John turn their football game over to my cartoon so I wouldn't miss it! :'). Made me so happy! A classic lady, to inspire you & good hearted too! Thank you Mina, I will always remember you. My parents always have & will say great things about you & your family! My dad was so happy to have them to grow up with, & so was I! By the way my cartoon was The Grinch Who Stole Christma,
