To all of our wonderful family and friends,

It is with incredible pain and sadness that I inform you that Mindy passed away early last evening from Acute Leukemia (AML) combined with an impaired immune system that was just too much for Mindy’s body to endure. She was strong and put up one heck of a fight and her doctors were truly amazed at times with some of her progress, but unfortunately time took its toll.

I want to thank you all for the continued love and support that you showed our family through these very difficult times. Your daily thoughts and prayers got us through many days and nights.

Mindy has been so amazed by all of the love that has come forward. I want you to know that she loves all of you. I’m serious. She really loves everyone. For 28 years I have been amazed at how she has demonstrated unconditional love for everyone and that’s probably why she has so many friends.

I have so much more to say, but it hurts a little too much right now.

Dan

Details about Mindy's memorial service will be posted once finalized.

Bone marrow test results

The results of Mindy's bone marrow test came back yesterday and unfortunately still revealed the presence of leukemia. Dan is meeting with doctors today to determine the next course of action. Mindy continues to fight a tough battle and we appreciate your strong support and prayers during this very difficult time.

Update on Mindy

I know that many of you check the blog regularly for updates on Mindy's progress and it is frustrating to go days without news. The truth is that there has been very little change and that is both good news and bad news. Mindy had a bone marrow test on Saturday but the results were inconclusive due to the fact that there were not enough cells to test. Yesterday, an MRI was performed which showed that the fungus had perhaps slightly improved or at least not spread. Mindy's lung condition remains the same and she is still on the ventilator. Another bone marrow test is scheduled for tomorrow so we hope for more conclusive and positive results to share.

It is powerful to read the amazing messages to Mindy and her family on this blog and realize how many lives she has touched and how much support and love reaches out to her. Your uplifting thoughts, prayers, and positive messages are so appreciated.

Mindy's condition critical

As a friend of Mindy's, it is so difficult to hear any news that is not positive about Mindy's condition, and even more difficult to find the words to communicate it to all those keeping up on her through this blog. Mindy is still on the ventilator and her condition is extremely critical and concerning to her doctors. Your prayers for Mindy, her family, and her doctors are needed more now than ever.
