I am so sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. We were the only two "she truckers" at kroger and from the day I started until I left, she was WONDERFUL and a great friend. She was one of the best drivers I have ever known. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. Cindy you are now driving The Golden Freeway Up There...Your memory will always ride with me down here.

Mike and Michael - I am in shock as I know you two much be - I worked with Cindy at Halmode and Michael - when your Dad was out on the road - she would ask you what you wanted to eat and if you wanted soup and you would say - No Ma - no more Poop - I just had to share that with you - I will never forget it and I remember your Dad bringing you in to the office - the days ahead will be hard - but treasure your memories and she will always stay close.
