To the Teeter family,

Cindy was a kind, warm and good hearted person. She will certainly be missed. I worked with Cindy at NDS and will always remember the bounce in her step and the smile in her voice and on her face. She cared deeply for so many. May you continue to find comfort in the thoughts and prayers sent your way from all that knew Cindy and her family.

Cindy, you are greatly missed at church. I look up in the front of the church where you usually sat and it brings great sorrow to see that you are not there, but on the other hand you are sitting with Jesus and laughing and rejoycing with your Mom and Kevin. I will see you some day and see that you will have the same smile that you had greeted everyone here on earth with.

Cousin Cindy, You and Kevin will be deeply missed by your family. It's hard to believe when we visit from Georgia that ya'll won't be there. We will see you again. Your dad has all kinds of help, but no one can help him with his grief. We pray for him.

I worked with Cindy for a very short time over at NDS. Cindy was an extremely kind person. I'm so very sad that this has happened to her and to her family. My prayers go out to all of you in your time of need and in the days ahead. I pray for you for Strength and Comfort. Cindy will be missed greatly, I'm glad to know that she is at least now with our Saviour Jesus Christ.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I believe Cindy built her heavenly mansion, one loving act at a time, until God decided it was time to move in -- and this humble, faithful servant was ready to go home when her Master called. She was ready for that call at all times because it will come unexpectedly. Our trials here on earth will cease/Our pain shall be no more/When He comes to take us home/To that far eternal shore./We'll have forever to thank Him/For taking our sins to the cross/He bore them there in our stead/So we would not suffer loss!/On earth He lives in our heart/In Heaven we'll see His face/We'll be able to tell Him, 'Thank You/For Your wonderful saving grace!' Will miss you Cindy

A Better Place


She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.


It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.


We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

Cindy you are in a better place now. This poem is from our hearts. I also want to tell you the National Guard unit in Horseheads, likes to extend there condolences. We will all miss you very much. God take care of her.

Cindy, you will be missed dearly. I am so happy that I was able to meet you and say you are a wonderful, loving caring person.
To her family, my deepest condolences go to you. Stay strong and always remember, as she told me almost 10 months ago, "God has taken her for a reason." She is now in a better place in no more pain.

EWC Church Family and Wilkie and other family members,
We honored Cindy at the work camp that we went to a couple of weeks ago in New Berlin, NY. Her name was on the prayer wall. The youth and adults prayed for Cindy at our devotions. We got her our same group tshirt and signed it with fabric paint and also got her one from the actual work camp. She was as much a member of this team as those of us that actually went. We loved her and will miss her a lot. She definitely loved helping people ... anyway she could. We are praying for your family now as we know that Cindy is up with GOD. If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to call.
