Mindy will always have a special place in my heart. We had not been in touch for years but a few summers ago we were lucky enough to re-connect and it was as if we were never apart. Old friends are so special, the bond is everlasting. I love you Mindy and will miss you always, until we meet again.
Love, Debbie Huttel McCormick

Dear Eileen, Ronni & Andy

Our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Mindy. Her memory will live long and her loving and care to each of you and your families will always be cherished.

Death is considered by many to be life's greatest mystery. What happens to our souls when people pass has been researched, written and discussed by minds great & small. All I know is that when a person passes whom I have loved as you love Mindy, all my thoughts about them are crystallized in to smiles, remembering good times shared and wondering what they would think of things happening to me now.

There were so many good things associated with Mindy that I am confident each of you will continue to think of her and enjoy private moments with her. Preserve these moments, speak with one another when they happen and share with your loved ones. Her life and all that she shared with each of you is etched into your own. That is your personal memory library and it can never be extinguished.

Dearest Eileen, Ronni, Andy and family and friends,
We were shocked and so upset to hear about your tragic loss. We'd lost touch for so many years, but seeing Eileen at mom's funeral, and reading the lovely cards from Mindy and Ronni, and writing a note back to Mindy, made me feel as though we'd been reconnected.
I remember so many days of playing together, in Skokie, in California. She was a sweet and lovely person, inside and out. I am so, so sorry...may her memory be a blessing.

Love,
Beth Byster Corvino and family
