Minnie...was there ever a sweeter lady? Dressed more beautifully, with matching accessories for every outfit?? We think not!
Our memories are many, and all so very good.
Do you want a hard candy? She always had some in her purse or beach bag, so she could feed everyone!
How many lobster dinners did our families share at The Ferry Tavern? How many people thought Betty and Minnie were sisters? How much fun it was to sit in our circle at the beach and share our families? Minnie and Tommy, Jerry and Miriam, and Betty and Milt! What memories!!
Oh, sweet lady, you will be remembered forever.
Alan and I will have your name read from the bimah at our Temple every Friday night for a month, and our entire congregation will say kaddish along with us, for you.
May your name be for a blessing!
Our love and heartfelt sympathy to your family and friends.
