We're so sorry to hear of Minnie's passing. As a child, I remember hearing many stories from Bill about his much loved Minnie and Hoke. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Just been thinking the last few days about what a great reunion Minnie is having with Bill, Emily her wonderful Hoke. Bill might even
be playing some music for all them and my mom.
She always wanted him to play "Bridge over trouble Waters". There is no more troubled waters.
