Mindy was a very good friend and coworker at the Lancaster Welfare Dept. and will be missed not only by her friends but by the people she served. She spoke softly but carried a big stick in the form of job knowledge that was very beneficial to her clients. She really cared about people and was there for everyone if they needed her. Your loss is our loss too. I know God has a nice rocker and plenty of quilt material for her and right now she’s watching us, making our quilts for when we join her. Our deepest sympathies,
Kirk Suydam and Family.
Bruce and Family,

Love
Tom and Joan Conway
