Not sure what to say?





Jim and Family,
I was beyond blessed to have shared a friendship with Cindy in this lifetime. Cindy was a wonderful God-centered person. I thought of you all after Marie emailed the news of Cindy's homecoming. It broke my heart that I would be unable to say goodbye in person. Our church family here lifted your family up this past week. May God continue to surround you and yours with peace, comfort and especially fortitude during this time. Mark and I will continue to pray for you. I will miss my friend dearly. She is with the Father.

Jim, Tom A. told me of your loss. I am so sorry that Cindy had to go through this, though I have no doubt that God was with her in a very special way as He will continue on with you and your family. Know that friends, perhaps long forgotten, still care. My prayer is for your strength and comfort at this time.

Dear Jimmy (and family),
I was so sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. We all had many happy times together back here in Virginia when we were all younger.(Remember that camping trip in the rain?! - You & Cindy, Diane and Tom and Carl & I & our dog Gretchen - it was awful at the time but looking back - so funny). Be comforted my Brother in knowing that "no one ever dies as long as there's someone left to remember - when there's no one left to remember, it means we're all together again". The wait won't be long - the Lord's coming soon!
Love in Christ,
Pam
