Mindi was always wanting to help people, especially children. She wasn't rich in money, but had one of the richest hearts I have ever met. She was everyone's friend. She would help anyone. That's what she enjoyed doing. 





She was the most forgiving person I ever knew. Never held a grudge. A generous heart. 


      

She always had a positive outlook on life. No matter how bad things got, she would always find the bright side of things. She had a quality that is very hard to find. I have never, in my 21 years of memories with her, ever heard her ever say, “Why Me?” She always said, “It’s gonna be alright.” 





Mindi was driving one day from Des Allemands to Bayou Gauche to take care of some business with her vehicle. She had her 2 oldest children in the car with her. Lauren, 4 and Abel,Jr., 2. Her other child, Timothy (2 1/2 months) was at home with PawPaw and MawMaw. Lauren says she was talking to her Mom, while Mindi was driving (around 60mph according to a witness), when suddenly, Mindi asks Lauren to be quiet for just a minute. This is when Mindi had her attack. Mindi had a massive brain hemorage due to an erupted aneurysm. Mindi grabbed her had and in Lauren's words, "My Mommy went to sleep." Doctors said she died pretty much as soon as the attack happened. Somehow, unbellievably, through the grace of God, Mindi was able to stop the car in the middle of the road. Then the witness says that the car ever so slowly, crept off to the side of the road. It came to a stop once again against a fence post. The doctor finds it a miracle that she was even able to stop this car and prevent a possible 3 fatality car wreck. 



We like to think she became an Angel immediately and steered the car to safety after stopping it. She saved the lives of her two children. She is our Hero, Always. 

These are the words she wrote on her brother-in-law's memory-of site just before she left us:

Mommy, you filled our days with rainbow lights,
fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away our tears,
Gingerbread to ease our fears.
You gave the gift of life to us three,
And then in love, we se you free.
I thank you for your tender care,
for deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of us three,
A part of you, you'll always see. 

We miss you mommy
Love,
Lauren, Bubba and Timmy







GOD made a wonderful sister,
A sister who wil never grow old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful sister,
And He gave that dear sister to me. 

From your brothers and sisters
With all our love















One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you." 






A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand. 








The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows!

You don't stop laughing because you grow old;
you grow old because you stop laughing 




Mindi, I just want to say:



For all you have done, all you have said and for all those you have helped. We miss you soooo much it hurts. We love you Baby girl.







Angels

When Angels sense you need them,
And Angels always do
They come, unseen, from everywhere
To help and comfort you.

They hover close beside you
'Till all your cares are gone,
'Till they can see you're ready
Once again to carry on.

Then some of them may fly away
And take their gentle touch
To other hearts that need the love
Of Angels very much.

But one, at least, stays with you
As your constant friend and guide,
For Guardian Angels never leave,
They're always at your side.
