I worked with Momma Venus 20 years ago. She was such an amazing woman! I always called her Momma Venus because she was like a second mom to me. I was still a kid when I met her and she always made sure I was taken care of, helped me pay bills, taught me to balance a check book. (My mom was sick so she couldn't do much). She has and will forever be part of my heart. Sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
My sincere condolences to the Minter/Mason families in the passing of Venus. My thoughts and prayer are with you. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. -De Yarda Darby
