Minnie will always have a special place in my heart. When John had his recurrance, she was at my side [via e-mail] for several weeks, discussing what his surgery would be like [much like hers] and what would likely happen aftrward recovery wise. She sent me pictures of her - on horseback- so we could see how good she looked! She eased our fears with her generous spirit and willingness to share and most of all her great outlook on life. What a strong woman she was! She loved you all so much. Don't ever forget that and I sincerely hope all of her children have inherited her incredible spirit and love of life. Amy in the Ozarks
