The kids and I haven't stopped talking about Melinda (Min to us) since Friday. She has obviously made such an incredible impact on everyone who was part of her life. Her insight to so many things will forever be instilled in my heart.
Much love, sympathy, and prayers,
Your cousin, Heather

Jim and Rosemary,
Karen and I cannot express the sorrow we feel at the passing of Mindy. Although her memory will always remain in our hearts and minds there will always be a hole in our hearts left by her absence. She was literally one of my biggest fans. Her heart was as big as the ocean she loved some much. Her smile brought the Summer Sun's brightness and warmth on cloudiest day and on the coldest winter nights. It will be hard looking out at the dance floor at the Mist next Summer and not see her standing there. I will miss the flash of her camera, the selfies and the photobombs. I will treasure pictures shared and her friendship.
It's hard for us to imagine the pain you must feel at this moment. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
Your Friends Always
Steve & Karen

Jim and Rose, my heart hurts and I am numb at the loss of your beautiful daughter Mindy. I looked forward to the pictures of RCB she posted for all to enjoy in our winter months, and the conversations over coffee at Buds store in the mornings at RCB! She always had a smile, and a story! She will be SO missed by me and my boys! Rest in peace Mindy.

Mindy was well liked by everyone. She had such a glowing personality. I met Mindy when she worked during the summer months in the Safety Department at Arpin Van Lines. We all had fun times with her.

I met Melinda when she was student teaching and we instantly became friend. She was such a kind selfless person. Min was there for me whenever I needed her. She held my hand and dried my tears. She supported me through it all. My kids loved her and enjoyed it when she babysat them. They affectionately called her Min-Min. I will forever miss her.

I first knew Mindy as a little girl in my son's class at Blackrock, then as a young teacher at Hopkins Hill. She always brought sunshine into a room and it was a privilege to enjoy the radiance of her presence. You will be missed by many Mindy. My heart felt sympathy to your parents, family, and friends.

Much love and prayers to Melinda's family. I met Melinda as she completed her student teaching and have had the pleasure since. Never again will I look at the ocean and not think of her love of all thing beach and I was also always moved when she spoke about her relationship with her family, as she talked about her mother so much. Her energy, smile, and positive outlook will be very much missed. You left us too early, Melinda, and will be missed.

Melinda, you will never know how much you have touched my life. We spent so many years laughing, learning and growing together. I will always wish we had just one more dinner, one more phone call, but nothing can take away those years we had together. I will always think of you when I smell the salty sea and see a beautiful sunset on the waves, your favorite place to be. I love you so much and I will miss you more than you know.

My deepest condolences to Melissa's family and numerous friends. She brought so much joy to the Coventry School System, both staff and students. It was my privilege and good fortune to have had Melinda as my student teacher. There must be some beautiful beach in heaven for her to have left us so soon.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mindy loved her family, her students, her life. I am so happy to have known her. She was one of the most optimistic, happy person I have known.
