‘She is Gone' by David Harkins
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on
Viewing will be held at Starks Funeral Parlor located at 3651 S 900 E, Salt Lake City, UT on Monday November 2nd 2015 from 6-8pm.
In Loving Memory
Being a neighbor of such a beautiful, kind, loving family, has been a blessing! Windie had an amazing sense of humor and a childlike love for life! Always bringing a smile to everyone around her. She has an amazing mother who also shares a sincere love with anyone she comes in contact with. Its such a shock to all of us that this beautiful life was cut short. I'll always remember the hilarious gut splitting moments we shared as teenagers. We love all of Windie's immediate and extended family and wish you comfort during this difficult time. Windie, you will be greatly missed by all of us! We love you! Hailey and Caleb, may your mothers love and kindness live on through you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

I grew up in the house next door to windie and I will always remember what a kind hearted loving woman she was. She was one of the first ones to step in and give a helping hand when I lost my mom, and I will never forget how selfless of a person she was. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and I hope they find comfort and know she is in a much better place now. Windie will never be forgotten by me or anyone who's lives she touched. Her memories will never pass and I for one feel blessed to have known her. I pray that God will bless her family and all the ones feeling the pain of her loss. I know my mom is waiting on the other side giving her a helping hand just like windie did to help us with our loss.

I'll never forget the time Windie asked me to help her mow her back lawn when she had Little bit. She knew I was extremely scared of him but somehow talked me into it. She started up the lawnmower and Little bit chased me around the whole yard. Tears were rolling out of her eyes because it looked so funny. I miss the Times we had with her. She was always there to bring a smile to our face. Windie will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Our prayers are with the family

We had great times in what seems a very short amount of time back in the day, you were so funny, beautiful and a little bit crazy. I regret not keeping in touch after high school and I am so saddened by your departure. I will always remember your smile and positive attitude about everything! I hope you have found peace Miss Windie (like the wind) and my sincere condolences to your loved ones. I will miss you old friend ♥
