Mindy, I will miss seeing you at Dunkin Donuts. We shared so many great stories. We have great memories and I will never forget you. I will miss you deeply but I know one day we will meet again in heaven.

I am so thankful you were called friend. You are faithful and real. I will miss our visits where we talked about our girls, when they were young and what they are doing now, your smile, and our talks about God. You will be greatly missed! Jesus is our hope and you would say in our talks, I am trusting Jesus! He is the only hope in this crazy world! I will miss you my friend! Until we meet again!
