Cynthia SCHOENBERGER Obituary

SCHOENBERGER, Cynthia Cain, 60, of St. Petersburg and Naples, FL passed peacefully into the spiritual world on Feb. 14, 2013 at home under Suncoast Hospice care, after a five year courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her devoted husband of 36 years, Arthur Schoenberger; their son, Neil; granddaughter, Hailey; her mother, Kathryn Cain; & sister, Pamela Young. Cynthia was preceded in death by her father, N. Dale Cain of Naples. Cynthia was born in Independence, MO, graduated Naples High School 1970 and USF-Tampa 1976 with an Accounting degree. A CPA, past party rental store Owner (Cynthia's Party World) in Naples and successful Real Estate Broker Associate in the Naples, Seattle and St. Petersburg markets. A real dynamo, enthusiastic with a positive attitude. She always said, "People trust me with their most valuable asset, it's a responsibility I take seriously." Her real estate mind was active to the very end, trying to negotiate that final deal. Her life was cut way too short, she will be missed by those who knew her and loved her. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Suncoast Hospice, 5771 Roosevelt Blvd., Clearwater, FL 33760 or Ovarian Cancer National Alliance 901 E. Street NW, Suite 405, Washington, DC 20004.

Cynthia would be very happy to know that we have restarted the Round the Sound Gourmet Group. Once a month or so, Rick, Christine, Rhe, Paul, Lois and Eric get together to enjoy each other's company, food and wine. We would never have done this without Cynthia's efforts to bring us all together over 25 years ago. Much loved and ever-remembered.

Happy Valentine's Day, Sweetheart,

It isn't easy being so in love with you and not being
able to see you every day.
I would give anything just to be able to look into
your eyes or hold you in my arms,
even for a few minutes.
I feel lost and incomplete not being together any longer.
I know that right now, this is how things have to be,
but that doesn't make days any easier.
Every day without you just reminds me of the love
and joy you added to my life.
I will always love you Cynthia and think about you every day.
As each day passes, I know being with you again gets closer.
Rest in Peace, My Love.
Arthur

Happy Valentine's Day, Sweetheart
My message to you:
I picture you in Heaven, while I remain here trying to distract myself from missing you each and every day. A most difficult task, my thoughts always go back to you. Your face and voice are constantly in my mind. I want so much to be able to touch you, hold you and kiss you. I can't! All I'm left with here is this incredible sense of missing you every day. I will continue to travel through the days till we can once again be together, and every night I keep the light on in my heart, the light of everlasting love just for you.
Rest in Peace, my love. Arthur

February 14, 2016

Merry Christmas Sweetheart, your 3rd in Heaven.
All I want for Christmas is sharing the quiet with you walking
around Crescent Lake, holding your hand in mine,
much like we often did when you were here.
All I want for Christmas is to watch your face light up
knowing I can still make you laugh, as I often did when you were here.
All I want for Christmas is to feel you close to me, your tenderness, your breath,
your warm soft lips to kiss, your sweet words to hear
and your love, as I had when you were here.
I was so fortunate to have you in my life for 38 years, though the time was far too short.
I will always love you and miss you, Cynthia, each and every day.
I look forward to joining you, then once again,
I will have all I want for Christmas!

May your Christmas be blessed
With heavenly Peace.
My love forever.
Arthur

We have both of you in our prayers. We know that someday you will be together again physically. We also know that you are together forever spiritually.

Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!

I love you and miss you so much! I think back to our special day 39 years ago (the 1st day of our lives together) and remember it so well. Our morning ceremony at A. L. Andersen Park under the trees, the guitarist playing Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens, the reception/lunch at Pappas in Tarpon Springs, our drive to Georgia for our 1st wedding night, your crying (stress relief) and me holding you in my arms. It's all so clear!

I have a card for you, I wish I could hand deliver it to you.

Your absence is so much more difficult than I imagined it would be. Logically, I tell myself that it won't be forever but that provides little solace when I really want to touch you, hold you, kiss you and love you. Sometimes I think it's all a dream and you'll walk through the door. Often I look at our beautiful wedding picture and imagine the things I would say to you if you did walk through that door. Speechless from the joy, I would look into your eyes, hold you tightly and kiss your wonderful lips. I miss you so much, Cynthia and I look forward to the day when I no longer have to imagine you being in my arms and kissing you.

I will always love you!

Arthur

August 21, 2015

Good morning Sweetheart,
Happy Valentine's Day!
The following is my message to you today.
I only wish I could hand deliver it, give you a secure warm embrace
and kiss your warm, soft, sweet lips.

In Loving Memory of
My wife, friend and soul mate Cynthia
10-8-1952 to 2-14-2013

You had the hand I loved to hold,
the smile that warmed my heart,
the kiss that made me melt.
You have all my love and always will.
Forever My Valentine, I love and miss you every day.
Arthur

No matter how I try to say it, the damage to my heart and loneliness of each day continues.
I don't think these conditions will ever go away but maybe, in time, I will be able to
cope with them better. As I have said before, I will always love you and will never forget the
38 wonderful years of memories we had together. That's all I have now!
Until we meet again, rest in peace My Love.

February 14, 2015

Very beautifully said.

February 14, 2015

Merry Christmas Sweetheart, your 2nd in Heaven.
All I want for Christmas is a quiet walk, holding your hand in mine
and time to talk, much like we often did when you were here.
All I want for Christmas is to feel you close to me, your smile, your warm soft lips to kiss,
your words and your love, as I had when you were here.
I was a lucky man to have you in my life, though the time was far too short.
I will always love you and miss you. I look forward to joining you, then once again,
I will have all I want for Christmas!

May your Christmas be blessed
With heavenly Peace.
My love always.

Sweetheart,
My day to day life continues to have a huge void that will only be filled when we are together again. As I have said before, the mornings and evenings are most difficult, the times we were always together. When I go to bed I say goodnight and tell you I love you but there is no response. My heart will always ache for you. It's been over a year and the message is the same, I will always miss you and love you forever. Goodnight Sweetheart! I love you.
Arthur

Sweetheart,
I went out to the beach this afternoon, sat on a bench and told you how much you are missed and how much we all love you each and every day. I released 3 balloons at exactly 1:58pm to commemorate your 1st year passing from the natural world to the spiritual world. Attached was a note for you. It has been a difficult day, but I'm okay. I have lots of love and support here. We'll be together again! In the meantime you rest in peace, knowing I will always love you.
Happy Valentine's Day my love.
Arthur

“What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us”
Helen Keller
Sweetheart, your passing last year has separated us, but not completely.
On good days and bad, you walk beside me. Unseen, unheard but
always near. I am only living away from you for a while. We are
soul mates joined and intertwined forever. Rest in peace, my Valentine,
I will always love you. Arthur

Sweetheart,
"Love is a feeling of beautiful warmth one person can bring to your heart, and a feeling of loneliness deep down inside whenever you must be apart. Love is a feeling of gladness that comes from the sight of that one happy smile-- a feeling of comfort you have when you know there's somebody there all the while. Love is a feeling of such special caring, a feeling of magic and fun... a feeling of wonderful oneness you share with only that one certain one."

Every day and especially today I have that loneliness of being apart. I miss your smile, your soft lips, holding your hand and the warmth and comfort of being together.

For now I can only have the wonderful memories, you may be gone physically but you will forever be in my heart and mind. I will be with you again. Forever soul mates!

Merry Christmas Sweetheart! I love you so very much.

Arthur

Happy Thanksgiving Sweetheart!

I woke up today thinking about you as I always do. Remembering our last Thanksgiving together brings warmth to my heart. "We are taught that thoughts bring presence, I experience this when I think of you and of the qualities I love in you." Your qualities have helped form who I am and your spirits will continue to dwell with me.
I miss you so much and will love you forever.
Arthur

Sweetheart,
It's your birthday today. We would be celebrating your 61st. It has been an emotional day for me. My heart aches for you and tears continue to flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. I love you so much. Today, I added flowers to our garden in your memory. The bottle of wine we purchased in France for this birthday will remain unopened.

Sweetheart, although you physically can't be here with me, we're truly not apart, until I take my final breath, you will always be living in my heart.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY with all my love.

Arthur

Sweetheart,
It has now been six months since I held your hand, kissed your lips and watched you take your last breath. It all seems so fresh in my mind. I'm not sure time will ever fill the emptiness in my heart. I have been traveling for almost two months, visiting places with special memories of us together and experiencing new places as well. It has been very difficult at times, however I know I must continue through this process. It will take time, but I do know that there will never be a day that goes by that I do not think about you. You will forever be in my heart and mind and I look forward to being re-united with you sometime in the future. You are free from suffering, I'm happy for that. I miss you and love you so very much.
Goodnight Sweetheart,
Arthur

Sunday morning, 4-14-13 (two months have passed)

Lord, Cynthia is gone from me, I trust now to Your keeping--
Bring her home at last to You, wake her from her sleeping,
Soothe her with Your tenderness, touch her with Your grace,
Take her from this world to find a better, brighter place…
Care for Cynthia like a child, Lord, and let her always be
Safe within Your gentle heart for all eternity,
And though I love her very much, I'll find my peace somehow
In knowing Cynthia and I will meet again
although we're parted now.

Sweetheart, I love and miss you so very much!

Sweetheart, it's been three weeks now and I'm still in a daze, wondering if I'll ever get through not having you beside me. My heart aches so much but my mind remembers all our wonderful times together. Hopefully my mind will ease my heart. You will never be gone, only your physical presence. Rest in peace, Sweetheart. I love you and miss you so very, very much. Arthur

Thank God we had those four days together. I will always remember how you shopped like nothing was wrong. Needless to say my heart is broken. I missed you so when you moved to Seattle and now you are gone. I am sure I will feel you in my presence from time to time until we meet again.
God loves you and so do I.

Cynthia will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her. She had the most positive and upbeat attitude of anyone I had ever known. She never stopped working-she always treated everyone she knew with respect and patience.
If you had the pleasure of being in her company, you knew in a short time how. Very much she loved her husband and son and the love of her life Grandaughter.
I only knew Cynthia for a short while but she made a profound impact on my life-one I will cherish forever.
my thoughts and prayers are with her family

Cynthia, my Sweetheart,
Words cannot begin to express the loneliness and emptiness I feel now that you are gone. My comfort is knowing you no longer suffer, you are in a wonderful place with angels and the Lord and the treasured memories while together in this world. We often spoke of how we were going to grow old together, holding hands, just as we watched my grandparents do for 60+ years. This was not meant to be, however in my heart I will continue to hold your hand as I did while you took your last breath. You have always been my wonderful wife, best friend and soul mate. We will meet again and I look forward to it! I will always love you Sweetheart, forever.
All my love,
Arthur
