Lila and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I remember your mom from so many years ago, she was a beautiful person. We expect our parents to pass on but we are never really ready. It isn't any different when you lose your parents - you will still feel like you are orphaned. Take care. Marilyn and family

We express our deepest sympathy to the Mintle Family for the loss of their
beloved family member, Mary Lou Mintle. I knew Mary as a cheerful, wonderful Lady who was always friendly and smiling. She will be greatly missed but will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all her family and friends.

Although we were only graced with Mary's presence on a couple of occasions, we sensed her gentle and beautiful spirit with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. Our daughter, Julie, joined her family after marrying her great-grandson, Matt Schultz, and know from the family sharing stories that she was a much loved family matriarch. We'll be thinking of you all in a special as you mourn your loss.
