I wanted to express my condolences and heart-felt sympaties to all of the Minge family. Kay was a very special person and I will miss seeing her there on Sunday mornings. Her last birthday I gave her a double-pack of ICY-HOT and she chuckled about it saying “Now if I can only get one of the aides to help out with it”. She always had a smile for me and we would talk about our stiff joints and bones. I am sad to see her go, but am comforted that she won’t be in pain any longer. It was her spunk and love for life that I will always remember about her. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you now. Fritz and Fred/Esther Muenscher and family

Please accept my sympathy to the dear & loving Children in the painful loss of your dear Mother,Kathryne. She lived a very long life & will be sorely missed by all who knew & loved her. May you find a measure of comfort, hope & peace from the Bible Verses that follow. Psalm34-18 “GOD IS NEAR TO THOSE THAT ARE BROKEN AT HEART,AND THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT HE SAVES.”
