A great friend, an unique friend…
I learned from her the happiness of been alive and well,
I shared with her my passion of studying echinoderms.
I shared with her hours and hours of laughing and good times.

Cindy.. Hang on.. We will be with you soon!

I will treasure her love forever. I will listen carefully so I can hear her laugh and feel her hugs. I promise to teach future generations in our family about her so they too can know the importance of family. Goodbye my sweet sister in law and dear friend. We will look after John, no worries. Love, Carol

Cindy is a great woman, full of energy and happiness; she helps many Mexican students in many different ways...

She is my american stepmom. We'll always miss her laugh, but she's still holding everybody's hands; she will always be pushing me to reach my stars.
