Cindy Lemire Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 24 to Nov. 26, 2005.
LEMIRE - Cindy Marie (Lehman). It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden accidental passing on Tuesday, November 22, 2005 of Cindy Lemire beloved wife of Joe, loving mother of Camilia, Kristina and Jordan. Cindy was born on January 16, 1961 to Phyllis and Bill Lehman. Her early childhood was spent in Kitchener and Georgetown, ON. Cindy spent her teenage years in White Rock, BC where she graduated from Semiahmoo High School in 1979. Cindy lived in BC and Ontario for several years before she and Joe settled in Saskatoon to raise their family in 1992. Cindy's passion and love for her family was evident every day of her short time here with us. Her support and encouragement of Camilia, Krissy and Jordan's school and sporting activities was always a top priority in Cindy's life. Cindy had an exceptional gift for her garden and loved her large yard, which was always blooming with color. She was very talented with crafts, especially her stained glass, reflecting how Cindy saw the world, always a bright and colorful place to be. Cindy worked for Western Canada Lotteries Corp for many years and most recently was employed with Deloitte and Touche. Left to cherish her life is her loving husband and soul mate, Joe; her children, Camilia, Kristina and Jordan; her parents, Phyllis and Bill Lehman; her sisters, Rose (John) Dunn and Nancy (Grant) Morrison; brothers, John (Nancy) Lehman and Paul (Lynn) Lehman; her in-laws, Aline Fortin and Lucien Chapados; brotherand sister-in-law, Stephane Chapados and Guylaine Lemire; as well as many nieces and nephews. Cindy will also be sadly missed by her many friends and colleagues across Canada who's lives she touched in a very special way. The Vigil for Cindy will be held Friday, November 25, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, November 26, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. celebrated by the Very Rev. Fr. Ron Beechinor. Both services will be held at St. John Bosco Roman Catholic Church (1202 Avenue O South, Saskatoon, SK). Cremation to follow with Rite of Committal at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Saskatoon Food Bank (202 Avenue C South, Saskatoon, SK S7M 1N2). Expressions of condolence may be emailed to [email protected]. Arrangements entrusted to Kenneth J. Scheirich of Park Funeral Chapel, 244-2103.

Derest Cindy:
Hard to believe it is already 10 years since you left us so suddenly. I'm living proof that Time Does Not Heal All, as the large hole in my heart is still there.
Paul, John, Nancy Rose and I had lunch together yesterday in your honour and remembrance and then the whole family gathered at my place to exchange stories and drink some wine in your honour.
There isn't a day goes by that I don't
think of you and remember all the good times.
Joe & the kids (Beautiful young adults)
are fine. Joe has done a great job of raising them as you would want.
You are loved forever!

Love always,
Dad

Cindy,
I think of our time especially today, my memories are of precious family times together,reflected on with love.
I miss hearing your 'hi Johnny honey! '
when we spoke or greeted each other.
There are times I reflect and ask ' what would you do ? ' It leads me down the right path.
I miss your optimism in the face of anything. Thank you for always keeping my glass half full.
On a clear night I look up to the stars, I look for the brightest, twinkling star, for I know that twinkle. From that sight I know you are there for us , watching over us in you graceful way.
Please continue to guide and influence our thoughts , words and actions as you have. Protect us with the shelter and comfort of your powerful and gentle wings.

I Love you Cindy,
John.

Dear Cindy:
Here it is again, the toughest day of the year.Even though it is seven years since you left us,it never gets any easier.
We got a great surprise on Thanksgiving weekend. Joe and Jordan arranged their flight from Australia to be able to spend a couple of days in Vancouver. Then unknown to us, Joe arranged for Cami & Krissy to fly in so that we could all be together. WE had a family dinner in the clubhouse at Rose's and you were sorely missed.
You would be so proud of the job Joe has done raising the kids. They are beautiful young adults with a great outlook and sense of values.
Cindy, youi are missed terribly and much loved always.

You are often on my mind and your children and their lives are constant reminders to me of who you were. I miss our chats, your laughter, your contagious zeal for life and creative flare. Anytime, I stop to talk to a friend for half an hour, by a car, in a hall, on a stage, on the sidelines, I think of you. I don't feel the need to tell you more because I believe that you still grace us with your presence. :)

November 22, 2012

Cindy,
It still seams like yesterday that you were taken from us yet your children are all grown up now as beautiful young adults. You would be so proud of them as your spirit lives through them. I think of you often and miss you like crazy. Your always in my heart.

Tomorrow will be seven years since we lost you and although time has passed it still hurts as if it happened just yesterday. I hope you knew how much you meant to myself and my family. You were family to us losing you never seemed fair. I try to live by your words now focusing on what is really important and making each moment count. You are truly missed

Thinking of you today as I have for many days in the past 5 years. I'm keeping my promise to you and I think you know that. It's been tough knowing how much is enough or too much and I count on you to keep letting me know. I feel you smiling down. I miss talking to you on the phone and by the car about our crazy families. Please know that I'll always be here for them.

Hi Cindy:

Just had to wish you "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"!
You don't know how hard it still is to not be able to pick up the phone and call.
There isn't a day goes by that you are not thought of and fondly remembered and the tears still come easily.
Its hard to believe that 10 years have passed since all of the panic over Y2K = spending all night at the office, moving the stove into the basement etc.

God Bless Always!
Love.

I thought of you tonight as I sent a picture off for our 30th High School Reunion. I wanted to send a note to you that we would take you with us in spirit and will remember the fun times we had.

One of the things I admired about you was the way you cared and loved not only your own kids but every child that was lucky to have come into your life.
Happy Mothers Day to the best Mom that I loved very much and miss with all my heart.

Cindy,
I stumbled upon this page today after sorting through some old emails and realized it's been awhile. Time has seemed to fly by since the last time I wrote, but you are still in our hearts. You were in our hearts almost a year ago already, when Krissy and I crossed that stage together at graduation. You would've been proud. And you would've been proud when she put on a brave face and left the home that you shared so many memories in. We, along with all your little Phantoms, are all grown up, and still missing you. For the girls that still play, we still share our memories of you on that field and keep you close to our hearts. Even though we have found growing up is harder than we expected, we'll continue to push on, through university or whatever may come, and eventually into adulthood. I know you'd be proud of Krissy, but you would also be proud of all the not-so-little girls you had such an impact on back in our Phantom days.
I miss you.

Dear Cindy; I'm thinking of you especially today, your birthday.I wish you were here and we could celebrate with you. Rose, Nancy, Paul and I will get together this weekend for dinner in your honour. As we tell our ' Cindy Stories' we'll again stumble upon things not all of us knew about you in your adventures. In our conversations we'll rediscover just how much you influenced us and appreciate you even more.
Cindy, I love you and I miss you. Happy Birthday,
John.

It just never gets any easier!

Happy Birthday Cindy,

Another year has gone by and there is not a single day I don't think of you. I still think life is not fair however we must stay strong and deal tragic events thrown at us. Your children are growing up so fast and doing well - credit to Joe for doing such a teriffic job under difficult circumstances.

Tonight we will be celebrating your life and toasting to you Cin. We know you'll be looking down and hearing the Cindy stories we all have and share.

Happy Birthday Cin. I love you and I miss you so much.

Dearest Cindy,
We hung the Christmas decoration you made me (so many, many years ago) front and centre on the tree, and think of you every time we see it. You were in a dream last night and we were talking and joking like old times. I wish we had made the time for our big 40th birthday bash that we kept saying we would do, but we were all so busy. It sounded like a good excuse at the time. Thinking of you ~ Merry Christmas, Cin.

Our Dearest Cindy:
We had written a message on Nov.22 but I guess I didn't submit it properly.

Here we are again at the worst week of the year. At times it seems like yesterday that you left us and at other times it seems so long ago.
There isn't a day goes by that we don't think of you and fondly remember the good times.
As we have told Joe, our one consolation is that the kids have a very loving and caring father.
Everyone misses you so much. Rest peacefully.

Love always,
Mom & Dad.

My Cindy;

This was a somber day of reflection for me.I take comfort knowing you are watching over all of us.I miss our conversations and especially your unconditional encouragement.I think of you each day and take comfort and derive strength in your memory.When things are rough I remind myself that I know what you would do and in turn I know what I should do.
We all miss you so very much.
Tonight the moon was full and the evening was especially illuminated.I look to the bright night sky and know you are with us always in grace and spirit.

With my Love, John.

Hardly a day goes by that you aren't mentioned . Somtimes there are tears but mostly we remember you with a lot of love and laughter . Today Callum recalled that you always visted with doughnuts for the kids and said " Eat those and give Mom and me 10 minutes to visit ! " We never did get 10 uninterrupted minutes but you never complained !

We will always miss you, Cindy. We love the times we meet up with Joe and kids ...we send all our love their way .

To my beautiful friend Cindy,
I cannot beleive its been two years since you left us . It seems like yesterday Alyssa and I laughed with you at the rink. Some days it feels like I saw you so long ago and other days it feels like hours ago.
Time has not made anything easier for me. I still have your number in my cell phone, I cannot seem to let go. I miss you so much and think of you every day.
I have been blessed to have had you in my life to teach me the lessons you did. I appreciate things so much more now a pretty garden, a sunny day, a glass of wine and most of all my children. I make sure that the people I love know that I love them and I tell them often. I try to live every day to the fullest for we never know when it could be our last.
There always will be a big empty spot in my life on earth without you, but I know one day we will meet again. I know you are watching over us all, you are a beautiful angel and I love and miss you so much .

Love
Lynda

My loving sister,
Its hard to believe its now been two years since you left us and yet some days the pain feels like yesterday and some days it feels like eternity since I talked to you, saw you, felt you loving hugs. I pass by your memory brick several times a week on my runs and always stop and and let you know how much I love you and miss you. You were my inspiration and I now hold on to many memories we have shared together.

You are forever in my thooughts and prayers. Keep looking down on us and someday we will have a lot of catching up to do.

Love Nancy

Dear Cindy,
I cannot beleive that two years has passed since you left this world. Time does not seem to make things any easier. I still have your number in my cell phone, I cannot seem to let go, I miss you so much.
I still ask why, but no answers come my way. I still wonder how someone so beautiful, caring and givng can have their life taken away from so many of us who need you. Maybe I am being selfish, I know you taught us all so many life lessons for which I am especially grateful.
I appreciate my children more, I appreciate the beauty in a garden more, I tell the people that I love how important they are to me and I try to live each day to the fullest, knowing it could be my last. The pain of not seeing you,not being able to share a glass of wine with you, not being able to phone you or hear your laugh ,is still so hard for me, I still shed many tears and think of you every day.
Today I pray that you are at peace and I know in my heart you are watching over us all. Missing you has not gotten any easier with time, I dont think it ever will. I love you and miss you terribly, you are truly a beautiful angel who has touched many lives, especailly mine Cindy and for that I am forever grateful

Love
Lynda

Two years have gone by… the hardest two years of my life. I think about you everyday, more than once a day. I miss you. I wish you were here because I could use your advice, support and comfort. I wish I cherished everything you did because now that you’re gone, I’m realising so much. You were the most generous person and never expected anything in return. You made it look so easy, but growing up I realise how hard it actually is. You and dad are my role models, I want to and I’m going to following in your foot steps. I’m going to be so dedicated to my children’s sports and school activities; though it will be tough to match how dedicated you were. I’m going to make memories for my family that they will never forget, like many of the good memorise you’ve created for us. You’ve done many amazing things and following in your footsteps will be hard. Growing up, I’ve noticed a lot of you in me and whenever I do something and realise I’m acting a lot like my mom, It makes me smile; even if it’s not one of your best traits. I handle my emotions like you, I like to plan things like you and I even try to get a million things done in one day, just to find out in the end I’ve only maybe done 2 things on that list. Knowing these things makes me happy. I’m proud to be like you. When people tell me I’m a lot like my mom, it’s the best compliment there is.

I miss you lots mom, wish you were here.

Love Krissy.

When I think of the word "Mother"I think of joy, forgiveness, blessed, understanding, compassion and most of all unconditional love.

You were all of this and so much more Cindy, as a sister and a mother.

On Mothers Day I think of you my sister; a mother who once loved and truly enjoyed her children with the passion that I feel for mine.

Even though you are no longer here with us I still feel that you are teaching me things a sister or a mother would do. I no longer look at the time I spend with my boy's the same way but treasure every moment and memory, the good and the bad!

And that to me is the best Mothers Day gift a mother can get.
Happy Mothers Day Cindy!
Love Rose

Happy Mothers Day Cindy,
I wish you were here with us this Mothers Day to celebrate what a wonderful mother you were.
You loved your kids so much and have left Cami, Krissy and Jordan with good morals and values. Most of all, you have left them with wonderful memories of the amazing mother you were. They are so lucky to have had a mother who truly was a gift from God, and who taught us all what really matters in life.
I know you are watching over us, I feel your love and spirit with me, the tears still come and go, and the "missing Cindy " part never goes away.

Hugs & Love

Happy Easter! I miss you so much and wanted to let you know that thngs will never be the same again without you to laugh and cry with. I have many days that I still think I can pick up the phone and talk to you. I wish you were here to share one of my proudest moments and a glass of wine in our new place. Joe and Krissy stopped in, I was so happy they did, I dont think they really know how much that meant to me.
I wanted to say hi this Easter Weekend as families gather. We miss you and love you so much.

Love Lynda
P.S. can you please say hi to my baba I miss her a lot and especially her Easter Paska bread she baked for us

Cindy,

I know it has been awhile since I wrote to you. Christmas, Krissy's birthday, your birthday and Valentines Day has passed and I found it too hard to write to you because I find myself missing you more now than ever.

I miss not being able to pick up the phone and talk to you. It didn't matter what I was stressed out about you had this way of making me see that it will all work out in the end. And I knew for that reason I could count on you no matter what it was. To me you were more than just my sister, you were my best friend and someone I loved with all my heart with no regrets!

I know now that all our conversations are one sided but I hope that you can hear me and I know one day I will hear you again too.

All my love...Rose

Happy Birthday Jordan

Happy Valentines Day Cindy,
Just a quick note today, as I think about those who are "loves" in my life. Today is not only a day for couples, but a day to tell those special people how much they are loved. Missing you so much !

Love Lynda

Dear Cindy,
We only met you physically for a couple of days during our short visit. We did know you for years through your wonderful husband Joe who was our guest in our home in Australia for a period. You touched our hearts in that short time and your memory will be with us forever

Happy Birthday Cindy,
I know this is late, but I 've been away.It been a very difficult week for me , I cried on my birthday and again on yours. I try hard to laugh and be happy, but there is this sad hollow feeling in my stomach and it does not go away.
I got Birthday cards from Nancy and Rose and they both called. I know they both wish so bad, that they were sending cards to you instead of me. We laugh and cry and I hope one day soon we will get together for a glass of wine,laughs and memories of our precious times with you. We all wished we lived closer, it would be so good for us all.
I raise a toast to you my beautiful friend Happy Birthday, I love you and miss you so much.

Hugs
Lynda

To my Cindy;
This evening we'll all get together to celebrate your birthday and your life.It is a bitter-sweet day, our spirits are raised knowing you are with us and laughing along at our Cindy stories.
The snow outside today reminds me of when we were kids back east.

I'm going to make sure I take Maddie out to play in the snow today, we both need to do that.
I want to help her create memories and, at the same time, I need to hold mine.
Happy Birthday 'Angel Cindy'
Love, John.

To my beautiful sister Cindy,

Happy Birthday to my sweet sister. Tonight we are celebrating your life and we know you will be there also in spirit as you could never miss a social event. We will raise our wine glasses and toast to you Cindy. I miss you as much today as a year ago as you are never far from our thoughts.

Much Love
Nancy

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to write a passage in Cindy’s guest book. My self and perhaps all the other readers have enjoyed and shed tears reading the wonderful memories that many have told. For many 2006 has been a difficult year. When we are faced with hard times and pain that life brings upon us, we need to grow strong and search deep for our inner strength to allow us to cope and survive such life’s tragedy. My inner strength not only has come from the love of my three children but from all the people that I love and everyone that so dearly love us. All of you have touched our lives with your compassion and without all of you the struggle to return to a quasi normal life would seem pointless.
Happier New Year in ’07 and please keep sharing your thoughts.

Dear Cindy,
Merry Christmas my beautiful friend.
It was a weird Christmas for me this year I cannot beleive that you are not here with us. It still seems like just yesterday we were laughing at the rink.
I talked to Rose and we laughed and cried, she is so much like you in so many ways. I hope you know what a great sister you were to all of your siblings.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, you are always there in my thoughts. January will be especially hard with out you to celebrate our birthdays like we used to.
I always will treasure the moments we spent together for they
are a lifetime of memories that will never be taken away. I love you and miss you so much.

Love Lynda

Hi mom,
we're all at gramma Aline's right now, playin' some wizard. It's a good thing we tought gramma that game because she really likes it & she's a smart player too.
It was a weird christmas this year because sadly EVERYONE got sick, except me, I was the only survivor. So Cami and I spent christmas day watching episodes of Friends for 5 hours at Stephan's(and thats not even an exageration, they have all the seasons), we didn't end up seeing the family 'til about supper time. When we got to gramma's, everyone was sleeping and so we watched some MORE tv.. We only just finished opening our presents today, kind of crazy but it's a christmas that will surely be remembered.

We're still missing you like crazy and with you being gone it makes every day tough & especialy the holidays.

Love you,
Krissy.

Cindy,

This week as I started my Christmas baking, I pulled out my favorite cookbook and as I opened it to the first page it read,"It was a wonderful experience! A toast to the chef!" Love Cindy 1996.

As I wiped away the tears from my face I remembered all the great memories I have of us spending time together at Christmas. From when I was your bratty little sister growing up in Ontario to us becoming best friends later on in life and having a special bond that no one would or ever could understand.
You taught me the true meaning of the word FAMILY and there was never a time that I couldn't count on you and for that I always knew you were my ANGEL.

Merry Christmas Cindy, you are in my heart forever!

Love...Rose

Our Darling Cindy:

Tomorrow it will be 13 months since you left us so suddenly.
Everyone says that time helps to heal but we are still waiting for the healing to begin.There isn't a day goes by that you aren't thought of,and missed more than ever.The tears still come often, especially this time of year when we remember the great Christmas times with you,Joe and the kids in Saskatoon. I know how much you loved Christmas and it was reflected in your home and preparations.
Cindy, we are trying our best to cope without your lovely smile and cheery voice but it is tough.
This is the second Christmas without you but you are remembered in everything we do.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND REST IN PEACE.

Love Always,

Mom & Dad.

Cindy,time escapes us here in the physical world. A day, a week, a month, a year.....my heart still breaks when I think of you. As I say it it seems so selfish, as we only knew eachother for such a short time, but words can not say what an impact you, Joe, Jordy and the girls have had on our lives. I have learned from you never wait for tomorrow. Treasure every moment in time, and live with no regrets. You taught me that. I bet you didn't even know.
Jordy and Trey are still buddies, I hope that doesn't change. Jordy is getting so big, I promise to continue to teach him all those bad habits Ha Ha! And I'll continue to remind him "the bigger they are the harder they fall." Were looking forward to our anual wrestling match at Trey's Birthday!
We got the salon open and things are well, I often feel guilt though because I hear myself say "let's do it tomorrow." Then I hear a voice.... an angel on my shoulder whispering; don't wait.
Thank-you Cindy,
Thank-you for everything, more than you know. Thank-you Joe for being you. You are such a support to our family.
We love you and your family so dearly I hope you know that. You are such an amazing man with the worlds biggest heart. We are here for you anyway you need us, anytime.
Lots of love

Cindy,

I can't believe it was a year ago that I finally had to say "Good ~ Bye" to you as they drove you away. It was so hard and painful to say those two little words to you.

Since that terrible day, November will never be the same for me.
On that day when you left us you took a piece of my heart with you; on the outside you would never know it but inside I ache knowing I will never see you again.

I know life still has to go on even when you are not here but Cindy you were such a BIG part of everyone's life that it will be a struggle. And for that I'm proud to be your sister.

And so when we do finally see each other in Heaven, that is when you can make my heart whole again.

Until then...all my love,
Rose

My Cindy;
Today we mark a year since your passing, the most painful day, most painful week of my life.I still search for answers, reasoning, explanation, only to come back to the randomness of accidents... whether or not I want to accept that...I realize I must reluctantly.

At first I was angry with God for taking you from us.Soon my anger turned to remorse for what I had felt. I've come to the realization that God has a more important role for you,....despite the pain we all feel in losing you so suddenly.
This past year has been both full of despair and yet so full of inspiration....
Christmas without you was sombre,
Joe brought the kids out to the coast at Christmas to be with our family,... to do so under the circumstances was truly inspiring;
Your birthday was a sad day for us because you weren't with us,
Rosie called around to us all that day and we went for dinner. We laughed and cried telling our Cindy stories,... each of us then realizing we hadn't heard them all,that was inspiring;
Linda was out to the Coast on business and called us to get together, she misses you terribly, I see why...she is a true friend who has suddenly lost a true friend with no opportunity to say goodbye.
We met Linda for dinner, she relayed to us that despite all that has happened, Joe, Cami, Krissy and Jordan are coping, trying to bring some routine back to their lives and were going on a vacation together, then we told Cindy stories and all felt better for the chance to get together.
We committed to coming to Saskatoon for Cami's graduation as we wanted to take the opportunity to support Cami under trying circumstances, it saddened me that you couldn't be there as we all know how proud you are of your children;
The hospitality that Joe extended to us that weekend was very much appreciated, working in your garden cleansed our minds and filled our hearts,the get together that Joe hosted was great, it gave us all a venue to talk, to cry, to laugh, and to continue to heal.Cami looked beautiful, the pride Joe felt was obvious, yet it was easy to sense that he didn't have you to share it with.... and that troubled him, completely understandable.
We wanted to watch Krissy play baseball.She's a talented player, it saddens me that your passion for watching your kids participate is a memory now.Your presence, leadership by example and influence does, I believe, live on in all the kids sports. I read the passages written by the girls and some parents with all the 'Cindyisms' and know your inspiration lives on in them.
I wish I could have had the chance to tell you how proud I am of your influence, your ability to inspire and motivate.An ability rooted in desire to see others be their best and succeed, simple as that.
Today, I was getting Maddie ready for bed.I reminded her that its important that she continue to do do well with her potti training.I told her that her 'Auntie Cindy would be proud of her'.She looked at me intently and repeated my words back to me....in that moment I knew she understood what I meant.
It was a quick and profound reminder to me that you're with us and always will be....wanting us to be better, to succeed.
I love you and miss you so much.John.

Did I tell you today??
I miss you.

The family is doing alright mom. Dad's still playing just as much xbox as ever. All my friends say "krissy! Your dad is so cool! I wish my dad played xbox 24/7.” Makes me laugh... I think dad's a grown man trapped inside a child's body. But that's okay; I wouldn't have it any other way. Jordan's doing good, his latest accomplishment is that I taught him how to wrap a towel on his head... so now after every shower, he has to show everyone when he gets the opportunity.. (even our guests). He can also do the wave with his stomach, he's pretty proud of that. You know Jordy, it doesn't take much to get him excited. Cami seems happy; we now act like friends and not just bratty siblings. I had a hockey game last night and her and Fab came to watch... They made me signs and waved them around. My face went really red & I just told everyone that I didn't even know them.
I'm doing good mom, just wish you were here. It's hard and the change is still tough to adjust to. But I'm doing my best.

Life's about hanging on when your heart has had enough & giving more when you feel like giving up.

They say, "Time heals everything"
... I'm still waiting..

love your kissibabe

Our Dearest Cindy:

It's hard to believe that its been a year since the worst day of our lives. Somehow it still doesn't seem real.
Not a day goes by that we don't think of you and the tears are no less.
We especially miss our Sunday night chats when we could catch up on the previous week, find out how Joe and the kids were doing and how the job was going. At times even a bit of advice was shared.
We knew you touched a lot of lives but had no idea how many. You were loved and respected by many people.

You are always in our thoughts and prayers and loved always.

Mom & Dad

Over the past year I have visited this Guest Book often, reading the thoughts and prayers of those who loved Cindy the most. I have wanted to write again but have never known the words to say. I find myself thinking of you, Cindy almost everyday and today I am in disbelief that it has been a year.
I know that you are watching over Joe and the kids because I can close my eyes and see your face and hear the love and laughter in your voice whenever you spoke of them.
I miss talking to you.

the loss


" the sea sweeps
leaps at my feet
as i ask why the loss
of a single soul
would make this
world go so empty
precipitating
all the goodness
it once gave

i could feel
each of my cells
try to burst through
this void to reach to you

to bowl me over
with joy and dance
this heart leaping
with hope again

between the valley
of my mind
our age old laughter
echoes louder
than waves to
a heartbreaking
crescendo"

We miss you Cindy ~ Love Michelle and Albert

Cindy,
I think of you often and have the picture of you & Rosie and us hung in my livingroom. If only we had known that visit was the last we would have stayed all night and had a grand old time, but then thats the way life is isn't it......you don't know what you've got until its gone. Reading all the entries in this book has given us all a wonderful insight into the truly remarkable person you were!! I hope you are at peace and taking care of your "Duncle Lugg".
Until we meet again..........
Love Lynne & all the Zimmer families

SOMETIMES LOVE IS FOR A MOMENT
SOMETIMES LOVE IS FOR A LIFETIME
SOMETIMES A MOMENT IS A LIFETIME

I will always be so grateful for the moments we shared Cindy, for they will forever be with me a lifetime.
I cannot beleive a year has passed. I miss you so much and think of you daily. Everyone tells me time will heal and I am still waiting for that to happen. I dont know why you had to leave us all so soon, but I do know the lessons and love you shared with me are helping me daily.
Tears will always flow but I try hard to think of the happy times we shared, the laughs and giggles watching Brad and Joe with the kids on the rink in your backyard, the birthdays we celebrated together and the quiet times just sharing our loves. I miss you.

Peace and Love Always
Lynda
