my husband and I are still deeply mourning and missing our daughter Mindy.We know she is with Jesus and her real mother ,and I tried so hard the last year to encourage and provide her with so much comfort because I knew how totally she loved her mom Bonnie.If anyone reading this can find memories especially of the last year to share here it would bring alot of comfort.We speak daily of her early passing just as we are still mourning my nephew who died of cancer at 24.
we wish we could have shared more time with her in person but the phone calls from her were a blessing and sometimes they were 6 times a day but that was alright we were so joyfull to hear her voice and catch pieces of her life. God blessed us to be able to go to her hospital and spend the last 48 hours of her life with her.I thank God for waiting to take her until we could get there and we thank all the people who have helped her and expressed missing her as we do.God bless you all .feel free to e mail us with mindi in the subject we will answer
love in Christ

Hi Mindy it's Lora man i sure do miss you Girl. I remember the day we went to get you the cell phone and you told the guy you wanted a phone with everything you even wanted it to talk to you. I remember you taking the picture of him telling him you was going to tell all your family he was your new man. Mindy the thing that makes me smile the most was the day i took you in to olums to look at the furniture Lori and i had picked out for you and seeing that big smile on your face. That filled my heart with so much joy. I am just so sorry that you didnot get to sit on your new couch or watch that big flat screen TV that you picked out for your self. Mindy i know that you are in a better place you kept telling your momma to wait for you that you was coming. Now you are by her side as you have dreamed of from the time i first meet you thats all you talked about was being with your momma and now you are. You and your family are still and always will be in my heart and prayer's I love ya girl and will always miss you Lora. STAP.

MINDY,
Thank you for the visit last night. We had some fun and your brother Kirk was so funny. Then i woke up for a minute and back to sleep. Then i dreamed of you uncle GARY and i. We had a fight over cloth's. He alway's wear's mine and he is bigger than i. I woke up yelling and i knew it. I do this often. I have talked to ANGEL and thanked her for the dvd she sent us. Them picture's of you that we have never seen before. Boy i wish i was there with you while you were growing up. I missed all them happy year's and i feel so bad because of that, but i must say the family that took you as their own is a very nice family. ANGEL was very nice to us while we were there in the hospital visitting you. I wish i could have seen BUTCH (your step dad). I wanted so much to thank him for raising you. I asked ANGEL to tell him that and say that i said hi. MINDY honey, winter is here and it is very cold out. Well honey time for me to go now. Please visit me again soon,
DADDY

MINDY,
Well now that CHRISTMAS is over we are ready to get back to our everyday routine. I did think about you and even ran a tear. CHERYL + I went to see the pastor on CHRISTMAS day as we had gift's for him. I went over to the church while we were there because CHERYL had left something there on sunday. I said hi to GOD and on my way out i said hi to you and wished you a MERRY CHRISTMAS. I love you and miss you very much. I miss the talk's we had and i wish i could hear your laugh again. I know i won't, and that break's my heart. I know that you are with JESUS and boy what a brithday party huh? i did see you in my dream again. This time you got me mad, but like before i told you how it upset me. I didn't yell or anything. I never did that to you remember ? Never raise my hand. I belive you would never learn through hitting or yelling at you. I was right, you turned out to be a special person. ANGEL told me how much you loved them little one's in the family. I remember you laughing at them while talking to me. You tried to be a mommy to them all. You would treat them to goodies and tell them how much you loved them. Your anut JAUNITA was there at the hospital with us. She said am sorry i missed out on her life. I sure wish you were here with us now, but you will alway's be on my mind. I love you, you were my only child and it's a sad thing that the parent out live's the child. Please look for JUSTIN and + brother + mom. give them all a hug for me. I will be with you when GOD call's me home. Well i must run off now. I love you and miss you,
DADDY

Mindy,
My darling daughter how much we miss you this Christmas,we finally were able to sponsor this page for a year ,longer possibly ,make it permanent ,in a couple of months.The
folks who run this memorial site have no idea the comfort there is in reading what others felt about your loved one.
I know you too loved Christmas as your Dad and I do. I pray you can hear the angels sing this year what a blessing.
You will be with us, totally, heart ,mind, and soul but there will be a Mindy sized hole in our family.You are ,as always, in our prayers.
Love "MOM" cheryl

Mindy and her loving family:
Well where do I begin, you my dear will be missed by many and you touched many people lives, you were always the first to greet the people you loved and the people you didn't even know. You were always friendly and eager to accept people for who they were. God must of needed a special angel to be by his side, so he chose one of the best. Your kindness will carry on in the lives you have touched as well as mine. Good bye sweet child--Gone but not forgotten,we love you always.Love Aunt Chris
And to the family, I'm so sorry for you loss and I do know what you are going through. My sister just lost her youngest child,my nephew unexpectedly and it is truely a diffulcult time, you'll never forget or get over it, but in time with baby steps along the way you will find a way to organize the feelings and the hurt. May God give you strength. With much love and sympathy
Love Christine,Gene,Justin,Jeremy,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

MINDY,
O how i wish you were still here. I miss your talk's and your laugh. I keep thinking about the frist i saw you. Your uncle BOB was there and your mom. We talked drank coffee and you just played in your room. Your mom told me anytime i wanted i could come and see you. She was happy for the both of us. I tell everybody about the time i took you swiming at the hotel, and you spent my whole pay check in the gift shop. I still get a smile when i tell that story. You could get people to smile and you would share whatever you had. Did you know that i tell everybody to smile. That way if someone is having a bad day, you make them smile and you just made their day. I do this in your memeroy. My spelling is not good as you know. MINDY as CHRISTMAS get's closer, i will be thinking about you and how you enjoy it so. Say hi to your mom and your brother and all the other's that have gone before. I will be there with you when the LORD call's me home. I love that baby picture of your's. The other one you told me about you crying because you didn't want your picture taken. Yes honey, Angel made sure i got it and i don't know if she knew about you telling me about it. AM so happy i got them. I look at them all the time. You are a very pretty girl. Remember when you had my friend JERRY with you when you called me. He said; DENNIS she is pretty. I said i know she is my child and i thank her mom for letting me into her life. May GOD bless you both,
DADDY

MINDY,
I have been trying to keep busy. Working at the food cupboard, and doing thing's for friend's, family and around the house. AM not trying to do this to forget you, just the pain of your passing. I will never forget you as you have brought joy into my life. I understand you have done that for manny people. I tell people that am happy for you. Knowing that you are with GOD now make's all of us feel good. my thought's are with our family's and i pray all the time for us all. I have sent a message to BUTCH, thanking him for being there for you and raising you. HE did a wonderfull thing. i will never forget the time we had on the farm and the fun we shared. MINDY, i love you and will be thinking of you all the time. O MY you ask us not to cry, but it's only been three week's and my heart still cry's out for his little girl. so off i go, baby i love you and miss you.

Cheryl Holcomb

November 16, 2007

Mindy,
None knows how much you were like your Daddy,but as I told you many times I saw it on the farm and the older you got.You had a hard outter shell but soft insides, a fierce sharp loving purring kitten.You are my only daughter ,born of my heart,not of my bone and I grieve not only for Dennis but Butch too ,who knows in his heart what it is to love a child, one that doesn't come from his body but who lived always in his soul.I am praying for him and his grief too.I am sending you hugs and love from my heart.Angel feels a large hole in her heart and life too, visit her often if you can.
Give Bonnie my love and thanks for having you and raising you and sharing you with me.I know how deeply you missed her, Thank the Heavenly Father for re-uniteing you with her.
I will keep you in my heart forever
love step mom

Mindy we were very impresed with the love and dedication shown by your family in your last days.you chose well to leave Andrea as your medical proxy.Aunt Intsy has worked very hard to make all arrangements as you would have wanted them.Dennis feels privledged to have held your hand as you crossed over.We both thank Donald with all our hearts for choosing to raise you as his own even before you were born.He is a man of his word and all your Kliene family loves you as much as the Baccuses.We will never forget your energy or love of life.You are no longer in pain, and your final wishes were very closely honored.
I personally thank Bonnie for leaving so early and allowing me to step mother you.We wish you had been able to see the state of Maine.The Holcombs join with the Klienes and Baccus clan to mourn your passing at such a young age.You had a vivacous spirit ,beautiful laugh and I shall miss your voice on the phone saying "Did you know it was me?"
One day we all will join you and the others who have gone before.Know that you are deeply loved
Rest in joy
your step mom

Mindy,
You were meant to leave this life way too soon, your father and I feel it was a holy mission to meet your family ,see the love they all had for you ,to be by your side through your last days and moments.I believe you are now with Jesus as you prayed with me to have Him live in your heart.I am also glad Dennis (your daddy) was holding your hand when you passed as I know his love and acceptance was important to you.
We thank your adopted father Butch Kleine for committing to you before you were even born and being a true father to you all your life growing up as well as his entire family accepting you as their own.
We wish you could have seen the state of Maine before you passed, but you are now with your Mom , you wont miss her anymore.I thank your Mom for her early passing so I could take her place for a while and being your step mom brought me joy ,as I loved you for you, not for who I was married to, your father.
We were very impressed with the dedication and love shown by the Baccus/Kleine family to you through all your life and especially toward the end.
I will post as often as I think of you, that will be alot, I will miss your voice on the phone asking me "Did you know it was me?" when you would call.
Angel(Andrea) your cousin, friend 'sister' medical proxy, she was a rock , truely dedicated to our "little" girl with all of your final wishes.She mothered you in the end and defended all your final requests. You chose well asking her to help with this. God will bless her for this.
Finally to Aunt Intsy(Edith Jeffers) sister to Bonnie and substitute Mom to all the Baccus clan you are a beautiful rose full of God's love,we love and appreciate you taking over the final arrangements.I believe you departed much wisdom to Mindy.
