CaringBridge Journal Entry by Mylinda, Mindy's sister

The Simmons family greatly appreciate the massive outpouring of sympathy we have received during Mindy's illness and since her unexpected passing. We appreciate the cards, donations, meals, offers of help with errands and concern for her beloved "puppy dawg" Capo. The stories of how she touched so many lives and how terribly she is missed have brought great comfort to us.

We are planning a celebration of her life -- Mindyfest -- to be held at Mindy's Manor so we can utilize the stage she built in her backyard. The tentative date is April 9. This celebration will be for any and all of her friends who would like to attend and participate in the festivities. In the meantime, we encourage any church, synagogue, music, volunteer, educational or other group that she was involved with to hold your own celebrations of Mindy as you see fit. I will post details on this site as they are finalized. 

(My email is mylindasw@gmail.com if you would like to get in touch with me outside of this site.) (Email address updated Feb 21.)

Mindy,
I'm shocked and saddened to hear you're so ill. Please consider some holistic care (Dr. Fred Harvey) or Hippocrates Health Institute managed by Brian and Anna Maria Clement, health professionals with great success battling cancer. Love, Sue Cohen
