Mindi McNeil Celebration of Life

I want to welcome all of you to the celebration of life for Mindi McNeil.

Death is always hard, it is especially hard when it is unexpected, and then all the more difficult when we can gather together and be comforted by each other. It’s ironic and I think Mindi would have gotten a chuckle out of the fact that we are doing this on zoom. I heard she hated zoom and would rarely turn on her camera.

But with us being separated, I’m so glad that we are able to connect online in this way.

I would love to see in the chat some of the words you would use to describe Mindi as well as any stories you would Like to share.

I’m going to put a link in the chat of a playlist of all the songs that people suggested that she loved. There were many. I pray that as you listen to those songs you would remember her and the joy she brought to so many.

As I went through the messages and videos this week it was so encouraging to hear how many people felt loved by Mindi. She had such a depth and breadth of friends. Her friends were as widespread and diverse as her choices in music. She truly seemed to find the best in the person she was with and had such deep friendships. She will be missed. and yet we are so thankful that she is in the hands of a merciful loving God.

We are going to watch a slideshow together of some photos and quotes that were shared about Mindi. Right after that Wade Cook will share a few thoughts with us and then we will get to hear from some of her friends sharing how Mindi impacted their lives.

During the slideshow and the service, I’d encourage you to share your love, your grief and your hope in this time of celebrating the life of Mindi. I think it’s appropriate to share your thoughts and memories in the chat during the service, so please take some time to share with other your memories of Mindi.

Let’s start with a word of prayer.

I want to thank you all again for joining us today.

I pray that you were comforted during this time, I also pray that Mindi’s spirit of joy and encouragement may live through all of us. May you go out from here and live a life that connects with God and brings joy to those around you.

If you are looking for church home or want to know more about the God that mindi served. Send me a message in the chat or connect with us at Denver Church of Christ .org. God Bless.
