To the family, I give you my condolences. Miss Mina was truly the best. I adored her from the first time I saw her at a McCaskey Football game with Dean and Gerald. She put a smile on my face everytime I would see her strolling in them fishnets, minis, and boots. She was and will always be a shining star now with her wings. Dawn C Boots
