I love you, guys. I am so sorry, I didn't know. Hopefully I can find you, Mike. Would like to give my condolences in person someday. Cindy was my favorite aunt, even though she wasn't an aunt by blood.
My love always

Dear Don and Mike, I was unaware until today of Cindy's passing. I still remember the fun we had living in the 'hood, and her wise advice to me through the course of two lawsuits. I am very sorry for your loss. She will be missed. May God be with both of you during this difficult time.

Don & Mike (Freshy),
We are very saddened by the news of Cindy's passing. She became a part of our most cherrished memories during the time spent with the Saint Augustine Baseball team and supporters. I always looked forward to and enjoyed our special "girls nights" out and the great laughs we had...I miss her now and will forever.
God Bless you both,
Terri, Gunnar and Griffen Terhune

Dear Don,
I was saddened to hear of Cindy's passing. I have wonderful memories of her during our law school years. She had a great sense of humor and was so friendly and outgoing. I know she was liked by all--not easy in law school. You have my sympathy. You and your family are in my prayers. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the memorial but will be thinking of all of you.

Regards,

Maureen Hallahan
