What a shock to open the Staunton paper and see the obituary of Cindy who was one of my high school buddies.. I remember going to her December wedding --just seems like yesterday. I remember running into her in Staunton when she was so proudly pregnant with her first child. She was beaming from ear to ear. The last time I saw her to talk was at the 30th Rockbridge class of 1970 reunion. Her conversation was filled with family! She was a loving soul and I know her family celebrates her life. We will all miss her. Sharyn F Billings
