I was so saddened to learn of Cindi's passing. I worked with her at Riverside. Cindi worked at the hospital and I with Hospice. She was always so willing to work as a team for our patients who were being discharged. I did not realize that Cindi had a chronic condition because she never discussed it with me and never complained. I admire the woman that she was. She had the most beautiful smile and pleasant personality. I will never forget her.
I pray for your comfort and peace.
Be encouraged and blessed.

Routt and Meredith families-
I share in your sadness of Cindy's passing. She was my lifelong friend. I miss her laughter and silliness, her caring spirit, and her compassion for animals (except frogs!) Cindy had the ability to make friends wherever she (we) went and make others comfortable. She loved her family and she loved life.
Cindy, rest until we meet again and share some german chocolate cake and cheer on those Dolphins and 'Hoos!
Love you.

Cindy will truly be missed. I enjoyed my time working with her at Riverside. She always talked about her children Meredith and Hunter. She was so proud of you both. I really enjoyed getting to know her.
