My Memories
We met playing basketball at the Mt Tam Racquet club.I guarded her that evening, and when, by chance, we touched during the game, the electricity was incredibly memorable for both of us.I think we both knew at that momment that our destiny was to become bound together as lovers and friends.Truly it was a love at first sight story. As time passed,day after day we spent hours just talking and joking about anything and everything as our sense of humor seemed cut from the same mold.We loved travel, people, music and though we were both strong and independent people, often disagreeing about mostly life's little things, we came to realize that we never could be apart, not while in this world. We pleged to spend our life together, help each other be better people than we were alone, and truly enjoyed the spontenaity that seemed to come so naturally during our short eight years together. We were married in our hearts. In the end, I learned much from you and I will never be the same again without you. Yet, you made me promise that

READ THIS AFTER READING MY FIRST SBMISSION .......I would always comit myself to growing and leading a productive and respectable life if you passed on. That I can promise you. I respected and admired the courage that you showed in the face of death. Your spirit, love of humanity, and strength will not be forgotten as you have truly changed my life and the lives of many others that had the priviledge of getting to really know you. It is sad and hard to say goodbye in this life, but as I often said in the last few weeks...we will become angels together and fly the universe. I truly believe and look forward to seeing you again. I love you and miss you. Your honey.

Oh WOW!!! Where do I begin? Right away I smile (or I'm "cheezin" as my kids tell me) remembering Min picking up my 22 yr. old husband in her arms with his arms around her neck and about six of us on the ground dying of pains from laughing so hard and so long while we all walked the Point Pinole Parkway out to the Bay. I was Min's adopted little sister (in Cali) in those days...Rex was always in the picture then too...that's when Min & I never spoke again was after we had his memorial service together...Anyhow, happy memories are here to stay and I have photos of plenty of happy times! Did you know she is my 1st daughters God-Mom?!* My favorite memories will be of her with all the kids when she'd make the farm animal sounds that were so AWESOME!!! Remember??? she was hilarious even when she talked to her houseplants!!!Or when she tried to copy a foriegn language we'd all be amazed!!! I know I'm in SHOCK and can't write through my tears...

Mindis has become synonymous with the word "sunny" to me. Always full of light and energy and warmth. She made me proud to be a blonde with her wry sense of humor.....noone can deliver a deliver a punchline with more pizazz! God bless you my dear. The earth is a bit dimmer without you but heaven is all aglow!

I met Mindis a few years ago when she sat next to me on a flight from Eugene to the Bay Area. We were both going to San Rafael, so we ended up car pooling. We hd a great time swapping stories and laughing. She was a special lady and I'm glad I met her. I'm very sorry to hear that she passed away.

Mindi was my cousin. I have not seen her for some time and reading the Memories that others wrote completed what I thought she was! It is hard for me to say, I wish I had gotten intouch with her. We always put these things off in our busy lives! Mindi you have shown me one more thing! Never wait until tommorrow! I will Miss you!

Mindis made me laugh. Not normal laughter but deep belly laughs. For that, I shall think of her every day and cherish the moments I spent with her.

When I last saw Mindy on a Saturday she was very weak and I held her hand. I said" Mindis I love you, I really do." She stared at me and then looked around the room, looked at her self in bed and smiled. She said with a wry smile. "You must or you wouldn't be here."

I met Mindus for the first time while connecting with about 8 of the wonderful women you see here as her friends. It was a magical time in all of our lives for many reasons, but the spark I felt when I first saw her and the pizzazz! she bought to every moment, every gathering, was momentous. No party was quite as much fun without her. No quiet conversation about the meaning of life quite as salient, no joke, no laugh, no smile or hug was as fun, as funny, as sweet or as warm as it was when Mindy was there. We called her ‘Mindus Maximus’ because she was. She was the Maximus… the perfect extension of all our gaiety, the best side of our friendship, our love for each other. She was never too caught up in her own drama to forget to care for me or to encourage me or show me her affection. I tried to do the same for her. Min was the exemplification of a great English saying, ‘Never say die!’ which obviously means, fight to the finish! You never know what might happen and you just might squeak through. Well, Mindy didn’t make it through the

Continue my post: cancer, but she did make it through an extraordinary time and touched each and every one of us in a very special way. Maybe that was what she was supposed to do. I miss you M&M."

I am truly sorry for your loss of Mindis. I never had the opportunity to meet her in person but I enjoyed the phone conversations that I did have with her. Her hopscotching from topic to topic always tickled me. It seemed that when I gathered enough information to respond intelligently to one subject she was already two more down the road on me. I came away from these chats convinced that this gal has got some real game. It sounds like your pal Mindis will leave behind her some very large and sad breaches in the lives of those who had surrounded her. I regret that she has lost her gallant fight. I know neither her friends nor her family, but there is a commonality none the less when someone shows the courage to lace up her boxing gloves good and tight to give it her best no matter what. My condolences to her family and friends.

Mindi had me at hello. I was blessed the day that I met Mindi...our first hour together was the day that she walked into the salon and need a shampoo/style. She told me her experiences with breast cancer, and how her hair had come back with all these great curls...well, I thought they were great...she didn't. We laughed and cried in that first hour together. Amanda and I went on to share Mindi as a friend and client...both of us love her. Her warm eyes and beautiful smile. We had a blast celebrating her birthday with cupcakes and fancy sparkling orange beverages. We will truly miss her reflection in our mirrors, and wish we could have been there to celebrate her life. One thing Mindi would always say while sitting in our chairs..."i am happy. i am healthy. i am cancer free." I'm so happy for her that this is now true... We love you, Mindi.

I only knew Mindis through a work friend and when ever I saw that friend socially, there was Mindis with her smiley face and very funny quips. I will miss her.
