BACK OF GRAVESTONE READS:
Mindy was a precious woman whose life was a light to those around her. She was never seen without her smile. It always accompanied her wherever she went. She worked hard, loved strong, and dreamed big. No job was too big nor a person's needs too small. Mindy was always sympathetic and encouraging to others around her. She put her heart into all that she did and lived her life to the fullest. Her love and loyalty for her family and friends as well as her witty sense of humor brought laughter and joy to all that were fortunate enough to know her. We are thankful to God for blessing us with Mindy. She will never be forgotten as her spirit lives on inside each of us. She will be missed but nothing can take away what she gave us while she was here and the legacy of love, grace, and joy she leaves in this place. - Mindy's Friends
