John, sorry for your loss. She was an amazing teacher and I learned a great deal in her class when I took her class all 3 years. She had a kind heart and a great personality. Truly one of a kind.
Dear Jones Family: Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I know that this is a difficult time for you. As the days and weeks go by, may you be comforted by family,friends and scriptures like Acts 24:15 and Philippians 4:6,7. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
I remember Minnie from Union High Schools days. She was a friend and a sweet, kind lady. Her adorable smile could change a dark, bleak day into sunshine. I always remembered her even though 3,000 miles separated our families. I received a wonderful letter from her months ago, and I’m happy we were able to communicate once again before her death. She is at home now in God’s loving arms. Blessings to her family and all those you loved her.
I was so sorry to hear of Minnie’s passing. She was one of the warmest, most gentle souls I have ever known.
So sorry to hear of Minnie’s passing. Prayers for her family.
John, sorry for your lost, you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers

She was a sweet kind person. I cherish this moments in the last few years I had to reconnect and visit with Minnie. May her soul Rest In Peace.
Our deepest sympathy at the passing of Minnie. She was a very special lady and such a kind, sweet person. I knew Minnie through Beta Sigma Phi. Always a smile and kind word. A true blessing to all.
My deepest sympathy, going out to her husband, John. Also to the rest of her family. Mrs. Jones, was my French teacher at John Marshall. She was one of the nicest people, one could ever meet. Her and John, came through my checkout line, at Walmart. I will definitely miss Mrs. Jones. Rest In Peace. God Bless. ❤️
