To Minnie's family, Your Wife, Mom and Daughter will be missed so much. Minnie helped me so many times with this dreaded disease. She was a fighter and I am sure she put up a good one this time, too. I loved her so much and enjoyed the Oral Cancer Walk she organized. She was an awesome woman. I look forward to seeing her again in heaven. May she rest in peace....Love, Carol
p.s. Amy, thank you for always being so kind and answering my emails about your Mom and if I can be of any help, do not hesitate to let me know.
