I'm Joyce Carter, a former member @ Minnie's church.(SMMBC) When I first met Minnie she had a very sweet spirit. She joined the Usher Board which was a very good fit for her. Always serving with a smile. Ms. Ross, your mother has gone to her permanent home but made a lasting impression while serving here on this side of heaven. God treasures the death of His people for in their passing He welcomes them home. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

My name is Mary Wynne. I am a neighbor of Mrs. MINNIE and Charlette. I have known Mrs. Millie a long time and she was the sweetest and friendliest woman you could ever meet.I loved talking to her the times we saw each other. I saw Ann in a store and she said her mother was out in the car , so I went outside and sat in the front seat with her until Ann came. It was a moment I will never forget. RIP MRS. MINNIE !!
