I can't believe how long it has been. I think of her from time to time as well as Jessica and Lauren. I am sure you have grown into beautiful women. Cindy was an inspiration to those around her.

So many times in the last 7 years since we parted, I have mentioned your name. So many stories to tell. I will always remember Winchester going to visit and the cups of tea in your dining room. Daryl and Chris thought Lauren was a beautiful young woman, just like her mother. We will always think of you and your girls fondly. We truly loved all 3 of you. I hope you have the rest now that you so desired. See you in heaven someday.

Dear Michael, Lauren and Jessie,

I only met Cindy a few months ago at St. John School in Westminster, but I knew she was special right away. She was very easy to talk to,and was so faithful in her volunteer work at the school and her concern for others. We talked about the Lord, and she loved Him. And He loves her and now lovingly cares for her in Heaven.

Treasure the good memories and know that your sister-Mom will always be watching out for you from her new home.

Ms. Cindy was my Library/Media teacher at Sacred Heart of Mary. She was the best teacher. Always there for you if you needed to talk or help. Jessie and Lauren are in my prayers.

Cindy…as I write this I can not stop the flow of tears. You touched so many people's lives with your love. You and I first shared a special bond with our children so many years ago. Through the years our friendship continued. The roads of life took us in different directions but I was updated on your ventures through my Mom. I will forever cherish the memories we shared. I will pray for the family and friends touched by your love. I will miss you... your smile! I love you girlfriend.

Dear Michael and family, Our deepest sympathies to you. May Cindy rest peacefully. Love - Ken & Deb Suesse

Cindy, I am not sure why the Good Lord extinguished your candle, but maybe he needed the brightness of your love with him. You were a wonderful person and I will always be thankful for you and all that you did for me when I needed it.

Cindy, I pray that you are resting at peace in arms of our Lord. You lovingly cared for my son, Joe, in the SHM afterschool program. I greatly appreciated how much genuine concern and love you gave all of the children. I know you were a wonderful mom. I remember talking over our joys and worries about being "good moms" for our children. My family was so blessed to have you touch our lives. I pray that the Lord comforts your family at this time.

Love,
Carolyn

Cindy,
Hey Girl what can I say? But I will truly miss you.We could always laugh at something or just sit and have a cup of tea together.You were always giving to other people and never worrying about yourself. You were there when I worked late and you kept Brandon for me but you never seemed to mind him staying later.You always gave me a big hug and that is what I will miss. Jessie and Lauren are so lucky to have had you as there Mother. You were always there for the two of them.So please remember you were loved more than you will ever know.Until we meet again,love ya Francine

Cindy, life will not be the same at St. John's without you, your late slips, your smile, and always time for a chat. You were such a dear friend to me. If only Jessie knew how much of what we talked about was about your role as a mother and how you always wanted to be the best mother you could be to her. Even on one of your most difficult days, the name, "Jessie," would automatically brighten it. I know you wanted to give Jessie the world. I think you gave her the best gift ever - being such a loving mom. Now, no more worrying, Cindy. You can exhale now because God has everything under control. If I know you, you are already in Jessie's room in Heaven trying to arrange everything just so for her arrival. I love you, girl!

Dearest Cindy, In God's Heaven, may the road rise with you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon you face and rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again may God keep you in the hollow of his hand. I'll miss you. You are a special lady.
