Minnie, a bigger heart and a more generous spirit I've never known. You gave me Sammy, and you made me a Hall High Warrior. What more could a guy ask for. My love and respect travel with you.

I never had the privilege of meeting Minnie but her son, Sam, is a good friend. If it is true that we are formed by our early lives, Sam is living evidence that Minnie was a wonderful person and a great mother.

David and family,
We only met your mom a few times and only over the last few years. She was charming and still fully engaged in the lives of others. What a wonderful way to age. May we all age with such grace and dignity.
Our sincere condolences,

Minnie's smile could light up the darkest night better then a million stars. We bumped into one another at the Hebrew Home when I was visiting my mother. I had not seen her in many years and was surprised that her lovely white skin showed very few signs of age. And, her eyes still sparkled.
It is said that her greatest achievement was her five children and her grand and great grand children. I believe this to be true. I knew one of her sons and can honestly say he was one of the kindest men I have ever met. Minnie was good friends with my parents and I am certain they are greeting her at Heavens Gate.
Rest in peace dear lady. Mara Maislen

Laura and I have vivid memories of Minnie Goldenberg, though due to our work overseas we had seen and spoken with her only infrequently in recent years. But in the early days we spent a fair amount of time meeting up and visiting the Goldenberg home in West Hartford. Those memories remain strong. Minnie's warmth, her hospitality and caring, her kind words and her gentle, welcoming ways remain vividly in mind today, and will not be forgotten.

Minnie was among the first people I met when I arrived at Beth El 16 years ago; she was sweet, helpful and lovable, and I already miss her. May her children and families all take comfort in the wonderful memories and good times you shared with her. Love, Roberta Buland

Aunt Minnie was a very special person. Even in her later years she made the effort to come to our children's weddings and definitely enhanced our Simcha. May she rest in peace.

I will always remember Minnie for her big heart and generosity.
Plus, she is a Pisces and Pisces women rule!
Minnie and Marsha hosted my bridal shower in their home, in 1982.
It was a warm and fun party, and Bill & I were showered with a ton of stuff we needed. We are still married, and still have some of the gifts.
Peace and love to a great lady. My heart aches for the family.
