Brenda, Richard, Paul and Brian, I want you to know how sorry I am. Mindy was a great person and a great friend to my sister. She was apart of my family for many years and I looked at her like another sister. God will keep her safe until we see her again.

Brenda, Richard and Family and especially those precious boys: I offer my sincere condolences for your tragic loss. I knew Mindy for only a short while but I will never forget her smile. She seemed to enjoy life and it showed. There is no doubt she loved her boys. My family and I have been and will continue to pray for you all. Somehow God's perfect grace will get you through this.

Mrs. Brenda, Mr. Rick, Brian & Paul,
Mindy has been my very best friend for as long as I can remember,and our friendship stood the test of time. I love her very much and feel like I lost a part of myself when she had to leave us. We had some great times and great talks, to say the least, and those memories are what I will hold on to. She was such a beautiful person and I will be eternally grateful to have had her in my life. May god wrap his arms around your family and help you through this difficult time.
Mindy, I love you and your beautiful babies so very much and you will never ever be forgotten. Your journey is only beginning and I need you as my guardian angel, so try to behave yourself up there. I will love you always.

The Wolf Family,
Mindy was such a beautiful person -- inside and out. Everyone she knew is "better people" just for having her with us the time we did. I've never seen her without a smile. I wish I had the right words of comfort. I know anything anyone can say might sound empty. But, we are all praying for you and your family. He gives strength to carry on and you can look back at the footprints in the sand another day. Love and God Bless

Brenda and Family: Mindy was a great friend and had a great personality through out the years that we shared at Richland High School. I can always remember when December 5 comes around every year we would always fuss about who was the oldest by the minutes that we was born, yes of course she was 2 minutes older than me. I can remember that if nobody didn't hug me that day on "Our Birthday" she would give me a big hug along with her warming smile. Mrs. Brenda and family, Mindy will always have a place in my heart because she was a great person. I will keep you, your family and her wonderful boys always in my prayers.

Brenda and family, Mr and Mrs Wallace: I don't know who wrote your daughters' obituary, but it blessed my heart. For God's Word tells us our days and months are determined and there are boundaries we can not pass(Job 14:5) God is good and in control of our lives in the face of such grief and sorrow. May He give you peace and comfort during these difficult days. We are praying for you. Your neighbor

Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.
Psalms 116:15
As we don't understand why God does the things he does we have to remember that everything he does is precious in his eyes. We have a beautiful angel smiling down on us today. And remember it's not goodbye but See you later.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Wolf family. May you find peace in this troubling time.

I was not blessed to personally know Mindy, but after so many wonderful stories and kind words I've heard it's clear I missed out on a great human being. Mindy's story has moved me so deeply and I'm sure will do the same in many others lives. Mindy will be able to live through her family as they share the importance of living in the moment and being thankful for what you have and who is in your life right that second. There's no need to worry about things that may happen tomorrow, spend that time loving the ones your with. My heartfelt prayers are with each and every one in this family and Mindy's friends.
