Mindy died January 1, 2015.

     Mindy will be remembered as a sweet kind soul that gave a lot of love and only wanted to be showed love back. She will be greatly missed by many.

     She attended elementary through Jr. High at Saint Jo then high school graduating with the Class of 1998 Rains High School in Emory, TX. She finished Greenville Beauty School but never got her license due to family illnesses.

     She loved photography and scrapbooking. She looked forward to the Rains County Fair photography contest for many years always winning blue ribbons. She also loved giving and sending cards to others for all occasions, making flower arrangements, getting tea from the DQ, finding new recipes and trying to cook, and to go swimming. Her favorite time was Christmas and then Halloween. She loved scary movies and watching them with her nieces and nephews she loved so dearly. They were her life.

     She loved music. Her motto song was "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. She loved animals, especially her trusty companion of 6 years, her Maltese named Rusty Buttons. When she lost her only child she could ever have, a son, Jessie James Brimer, he became her world,  her little BooBoo. With her severe hearing loss he was her watch dog and protector.

     Having had kidney illness with a transplant in 1989 that she maintained for 20 years and being back on dialysis for the last 6 years while being on the transplant list for 4 years she was a big supporter of the National Kidney Foundation, Kidney Fund, and organ donation supporter for several organizations.

     Most important was her belief in Angels, spirits, and her faith in God. She was a Christian and baptized at Lake Fork Baptist Church near Emory. She struggled from her first breath until her last but never lost the faith that God would make it better soon and that he had a reason for all he does. Even losing her only child she came to understand it was his plan.

     She now knows no pain, no medications, no heartbreak or tears, no loneliness, or everyday struggles. Her angels came for her just as she said. She is now with her son and other loved ones she missed so dearly. She told her parents on Christmas Day she would be always be around when she was gone by visiting as a red bird or a golden butterfly.

     Rest in peace our dear sweet Mindy. You will be greatly missed but we will see you again one day.
