To Cindy's family:

I went to middle school and high school with Cindy and she was so warm and full of consideration and care for others.

She helped me in planning our 10th high school reunion and was someone you could always count on to be there through thick and thin.

My heartdelt condolences on your loss.

I lost my Mom last February and I am confident she has helped guide Cindy into Heaven.

I will pray for Cindy and all of you in the days to come.

“Bob Bowman”, Carol, Kim and Aunt Rosemary – I have been trying to come up with the words to express how sorry I am that Cindy is no longer with us but then I think about her smile, and smile. I think of all her witty comments and laugh. I think of her courage and strength and feel that I should follow suit! I loved your daughter, sister and niece with all my heart and I am just so grateful to you all for allowing Brian, Brendan, Colin and I to be with her these last 5 weeks! Although engulfed in sadness, I smiled every time Brendan would ask to “go see Cindy, say Hi Cindy.” I promised Cindy that my boys would grow up knowing her and experiencing her love – and I will make sure that they will – even if it means the boys are going to the ballet as she had wanted to do with them. I can’t imagine all that you all are going through right now, but know that you are surrounded in love, as Cindy was! Cindy was such an amazing person and I am a better person because of her love – I will miss her everyday until we are reunited again …. Love you Cindy!

I would like to express my sincere condolences and sadness to Cindy's family and friends. I heard today that our friend Cindy had lost her brave battle.
Cindy was a joy as a person and a pleasure to take care of as a patient.
She never complained and always greeted the day with a smile.
I have thought about her often, both personally and professionally. We nurses on CC6 all loved Cindy, she was an inspiration to us all and we wish we could have done more for her.
Good-bye Cindy, you will always be remembered by me.
With love

Cindy led her life with such bravery, hope and optimism that I never really thought this day would come. Now that it has I am filled with such a deep sadness. Cindy and I shared a friendship, an office space and many, many laughs, good times and double quiz days. I will miss her all the days of my life. To Bob, Carol, Kim, Guy and all her many loyal friends my deepest condolences. Words will never say enough.

I was one of many nurses in Boston who felt truly lucky to have met Cindy several years ago. Cindy was more than a patient to all of us, she was a friend. I have never met someone who had such a positive attitude, no matter what she was going through, no matter how long her stay was in the hospital. Everytime I would walk in her room, especially at 7:30 in the morning, after having woken her up to take her medicine, she would still greet me with a smile on her face. We would always fight over who would get to spend the day with Cindy. Her being discharged from the hospital was always bitter/sweet, because the selfish side of me didn't want her to go back to New York. She brightened up my day. I am happy she was surrounded my her family and friends in NY the last few months of her life. I will miss her so much and I truly feel blessed to have met her and to be able to call her my friend. Carol, Bob, and Kim- I am thinking about all of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Cindy's family and friends. I admire Cindy for her strength and courage, for her positive attitude and wittiness no matter what the situation, her comforting voice, compassionate attitude and fun-loving spirit. I will miss my friend, my sorority sister, my first college roomate. The many memories of SUNY Oswego, summers at Lake George and beyond will forever make me smile. Till we meet again.
