Thought about u today grandma.  Miss you . 

From the first day I met "Mother" Minnie, I was impressed with her elegance.  She was gentle and quiet; you could feel the Love of God in her words; her thoughtfulness.  I will miss her greatly and will forever remember the kindness she showed to myself and my family.  Not many women are mothers who can nurture and guide, but she did both; a true and genuine jewel.   Rest well until we meet again...

Momma Minnie, you will be greatly missed.   This thought always crossed my mind when visiting you. Give me my flowers, while I'm still alive, amen. Ecclesiates Chpt 3 KJV. The sincere love that you have shown my husband and I to include, everyone of our children will never be forgotten. Amazingly, you always remembered everyone of them, you always asked me about them at the end of every service. And not one of my grandchildren could get pass you without a hug. If they were not there you would be sure to ask me about all them. You took time out with all of your church babies, that truly made us feel special. You showed love from the smallest child in the church, to adults. Whenever the announcement came across the pulpit that you was not doing well we always by the grace of God made it our business to visit.  The one last thing that will always stick out in my mind, during our last conversation. You said, Shelly I realllly, realllly love my church family and it showed, and we love you to was my reply as you smiled. I pray your legacy will never be forgotten. I pray that your children and Grandchildren will continue to be as passionate about God and family as you were. We will always love you and carry a part of your spirit in our hearts. Condolences to the family, keep the faith. You mother, aunt, grandma was an incredibly strong woman of God, keep making her proud.  Love Sis. Shelly and Bro. Lonnie Miles and Family. Forever in our prayers...

Cousin Minnie was a good person as well as to my child Phyllis when I was unable to to be there at the time , but in the time of need and support she stepped up and offered to help and for that I appreciate her for all she has done .She will be missed, a great and strong woman has gone home.
