    A true loss to the family.
    We knew her from living at the Villa. A very warm and loving friend to all. Her kindness to Sarah O. was a blessing in the recent years for which she is remembered by many.
    May she rest in peace.

      So sorry for your loss. I last saw Minnie at her 90th birthday party, so full of life. She and Mo were so good to my late husband Carl. May fond memories help sustain you at this difficult time.

    To cousins Sharon, Stephen, Hannah, Dena, and Mira,
    I wish I could find the right words to express what a great loss I know this is to each of you, and of course the sadness for myself as well. Auntie Minnie was such a wonderful person who meant so much to our entire family. Yes may her memory be a blessing.

    Dear Sharon and Family,
    I am saddened to hear of Minnie’s passing. She was quite a character, and a welcomed participant at my activity groups at Sunnyview. Her infectious smile and quick wit will be missed. May her memory be a blessing.

    My sister, Sue, and I were sorry to read about the loss of your mom. Your mom and dad’s names had recently come up with a newly found cousin and we were all trying to figure out how the Kurtzers and the Waldman’s were related and the mystery was figured out with the help of an old census.
