Not sure what to say?

You know they say blood is thicker than water but I am not quite so sure about that. My Aunt Mindy came along before I did and proved that statement incorrect throught the whole time she was a part of my life. My mother and her were friends for many years and you would have never known that we were not related by blood. I will miss her smile and laugh. I have many memories of her through out my life and am not sure which one would be my favorite. She spent many hours sewing for us kids including a really cool bright pink graduation dress. She was the detail person. I will never forget the day she held me down on the couch while Sandy tickled me till I peed my pants. She was there with me and for me when my mom ended her earthly journey and began her next journey and now they are together again. My most recent memory is spending her last days with her at the hospital. Death is never easy but she managed to make it a wonderful and amazing experience. The joy and comfort in here face when surrounded by all of her children, grandchildren friends and family that evening is something I wil never forget. I am so thankful I was able to share those last precious moments with you Aunt Mindy and thank you Kia,Sandy,Travis and Mark for sharing such an amazing woman with me and my family.

Mom, It's only been a week but it feels like so much longer. I miss you so much and I guess I am still feeling like its not real yet. I look at my cell phone expecting a call or a text but none come. I have even gone into my messaging to send you texts then end up crying because you won't get it. Our talks were so helpfull and made it easier to figure out what I needed to do. I will miss those and even just sitting and watching a movie together. I love you and miss you! Love, Kia

My sister and friend...I miss you so much already. I am grateful now for the challenges that resulted in Tom & I moving closer to you in December 2009. That move gave us many shared moments in the past years that I will treasure. I miss your smile, your laugh and your wisdom. It is so hard to believe you are gone. I love you. Give mom & dad hugs from me.

You were always a joy to spend time with. You were a mainstay at every family gathering and your smile lit up the room. I will miss our long talks about books and life. I only wish I could have seen you again, to receive just a little bit more of your vast knowledge. You are greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
