She is preceded in death by her Father Justo Gonzales, Sister Rosalinda Gonzales, Nephews Daniel Gonzalez and Nathaniel Rivera. Minerva was so much more than her struggles. She was humbly social; never knew a stranger and would always make you feel welcomed. She was the funniest, loudest, and best person in every room. Anyone that truly knew her, knew she had such a big heart. She enjoyed playing poker,bingo and liked to pass time at the casino. For those of you that like to gamble, put your money on the cowboys this year because she just might make them win! She was very passionate about her Dallas Cowboys. She liked dancing and loved all of her family. She was a kid at heart and everything sweet. She will be missed dearly and never forgotten. A memorial service will be held at 3:15pm on Monday, May 2nd at FRENCH-Wyoming. May her playful soul shine on.

"I'm free. Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has chosen for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I've now found peace at the end of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared a laugh a kiss. Oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. Look for the sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, and loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee. God wanted me now, he set me free."
