Mindy seemed so happy after moving to White Cloud - always had a story about the antics of a couple of `city-kids´ living the `country´ life - animals of every kind were welcomed and loved right along with family and friends - and life was good because they made it good, no matter what. She seemed to make the best of every situation right to the end. Mindy - your mom & dad would be proud, along with the rest of us, of the strong, courageous, caring, and adventurous woman you were! You Lived, Laughed and Loved well - just like your mom. Rest in peace. Prayers for Brian, Baylee, Tucker, Rylie and Chesney - May God´s grace sustain you as you grieve, and give you strength to carry on - one day at a time. Love you all. Doug & Cherie
