I was so sorry to learn of Mindy's death. She
cleaned my teeth for over 30 years, and we had
developed a close friendship. I really missed her
when she retired. She was such a wonderful, and
kind person. My condolences to her family.

Mark, Richard, Andrea and Jennifer., Jim and I are so very sorry to hear about Mindy's death. We have great memories of your family and our travels together to Colorado and New Mexico. Also great times at the lake.
Although we haven't seen you in a while, we think of all of you often. We are sorry that we cannot make the trip to Corpus for the funeral. We live in Round Top now.

I worked with Mindy for over 14 years, but knew her longer as a fellow hygienist, parish family member and friend. She was a a sweet, loving lady and will be missed. My prayers are with her family.
