Jim, May the memories of your mom help you find peace. I always love to hear your “Mom stories”. Call me anytime when you just want to share a memory that touches your heart. Judy and I send a heartfelt hug to both you and Mary.
I lived in the same building as Minerva in McLean for many years. Our paths would cross almost daily she always had a smile and we would greet each other on our way up or down in the elevator we would talk. She was a fine lady and I will miss her smiling face and kind words. God rest her soul.
Please accept my condolence we will miss her.
Jim we are so sorry for your loss. I know how you used to like staying with your Mom when you headed north. The stories of those stays were great. I know you will miss that but you also knew you were fortunate in being able to do that. Cherish those memories.
My mother, Vivian Jones Chinnici and Minerva was such good friends from school onward. They spoke on the telephone nearly ever day and visited with each other often times during high school reunions. My mom, who is sitting here beside me will miss their friendship and phone calls. She loved Minerva very much. You have our condolences.
Minerva endeared herself to the Rotonda Landscape Committee. She loved our projects but always let us know there were other things that needed to be done. Such a sweet lady. We will miss her.
Our prayers and sympathy to Jim, Brenda,Jan and their families. We know she will be missed. Phil,Debbie,Amanda,and Phillip Yerby
Our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. May God place His arms around you all and hold you tight. Aunt Minerva is living on in the house of Our Lord. May your memories of her bring you comfort. Minerva was such an unique lady with a gift of gab and a warm heart. I will always hold her close to my heart. Love to all of you.
Dear Jim Mary and Brad, we’re thinking of you and we love you. we’re so sorry for your loss and you will be in our prayers
