You were very funny. I remember at the wedding how you wanted to steal my Sabu. May you rest in peace. My heart goes out to the family. I will keep you all in prayer.

Mina was always the one to make sure the family stayed connected. We made our telephone calls to each other a couple of times a year to catch up on what was happening with us and our families.
Thanks Mina for showing you cared. I'll miss those calls.
My sincere sympathy to the family.
