Mindy,
I will always remember the times you would fly home to seattle and stay with Dayna and I. I loved the way you would always spoil my kids especially the cool clothes you would bring them… love you Min… I’ll miss you
One of my favorite times Mindy was when you came to visit me in Florida. We had such fun taking modeling pictures with one another. It was a beautiful time. I wish I would’ve told you more often and how much I loved you and missed your visits. You will forever be in my thoughts, may rest in peace my sweet sister.
Mindy was a kind soul and always good to me in school. Her spirit to travel seemed to come early in life and she loved music. Sting from British band the Police was one of her crushes at the time as I recall, but The band The Who was a big draw for her. I’m writing this now, as I had not heard of her passing and was heart broken to do so now! I last saw her at a cabana party in the 1990’s and was greeted with a huge hug and warm talk. I have always thought of her as one of the best people I knew in my youth. To all her children and grandchildren please know that Mindy was a super kind soul when she was young. She didn’t let social divides stop her from making friends and because of that I had the distinct pleasure of being blessed with her friendship. With the wings of an angel I bet you are traveling now sister!
