I’m very sorry to hear about Minnie’s passing. I met her and Gene in 2020 at a Mardis Gras parade in New Orleans. She was a very caring and interesting woman and we bonded immediately as both believers in the Lord Jesus and as fellow dog lovers.
Praying for comfort for the family.
Many thanks to Annette for her consideration in notifying me, as I live in Arizona, in her season of grief.

I grew up in Durham Autoplex, and Ms Minnie was always the smiling face, greeting you, when you walked in the front door. She was always one of the nicest people you would ever encounter. I hate hearing this and just want her family to know everyone is in my thoughts, and she’s going to be missed by all the Durham Autoplex family.
