ReplyDeleteI have kept in touch with Mendi over the years, during holidays and special occasions. I had just messaged her and did not get a response. Then I found out she never got my message because she passed away in the accident. My heart was crushed. I grew up with the entire family, staying over at their house on weekends and sometimes the weekdays too. I was best friends with Dale her brother growing up. We used to race bmx. Mendi and I were in the same grade in school and she was like a sister to me. And her parents were also like my second parents as well. The news of her passing in the car crash was heartbreaking and absolutely devastating for her family. She loved her family with all her heart. I spoke to her daughter and she said her husband Danny was out of the hospital and going to therapy. I also spoke to her sister Eydie. May God bless her heart and may she rest in peace. You will be missed by everyone that knew you Mendi.
