Special thanks to Will

Will was the force behind this outing, he only knew Mindy for a few years before she past away. My greatest memory of the 2 of them was when she left for Cleveland she made him promise to have a beer with her when she got back. Well, when Mindy came home she ended up back in the hospital so they didn't get to share that beer. The week before Mindy passed he came with me to the hospital and brought the beer for her. When he came in the room he showed her the beer and sat it on the shelf. Mindy sat up in bed and asked him, "Did you bring your bleach bottle? This room needs cleaned." For those of you that don't know him that well, Will is a neat freak. They both had a good laugh out of that one and he always tells the story. I know I would not have been able to make it through those last few months of her life and this past year without him. He is always there reminding me of Mindy, letting me know she is in a better place and that Dad and her are watching over us all.


Will decided back in May the best way to honor Mindy was to put on this outing for the friends and family and help raise money for a good cause. He lined up the course, prizes and hole sponsors. He worked with Prairieview, C&G, X107.5 and several other places to make her outing the best it could be. I know he has put alot of thoughts and efforts into the outing this year.

I've gotten calls from Sandy, Linda and Aunt Kay telling me what a wonderful job he did. Plus alot of emails from the cousins. We all want to thank you for what you did in Mindy's memory and know the Lauf family will always be thankful to you.

Love,
Trina and the Lauf family.
