Happy Thanksgiving, Aunt Cindy!! You waited a long time to welcome Memaw and Pawpaw into Heaven. I am thankful to have had the chance to make wonderful memories, over the years, however, I still wish you could have been here, too. You are never far from our minds and are always in our heart, especially, during the holidays. We will be thinking of all of you tomorrow. I hope Daddy is making the turkey, Memaw Faye is spiking the egg nog, Pawpaw is telling jokes and Memaw is making chocolate pie; (fingers crossed she isn't making the Mac-n-Cheese-lol). I love you more than my luggage and to the moon and back!!! Love, Kisses and Hugs Always.

Hi Auntie Cindy!! It's been a few years now but you already know we haven't forgotten you for a second. You have 2 beautiful granddaughters (Kaylee and Aeryn) and Michael has another one on the way. Your sons are helping keep the girls in a close race with the boys in our family. Gabriel has added two more sons (Hank and Preston), that's a total of 5 for him..whew!! We gave Landon a little brother last year too, Brady. You know how I love my Patriots!! ;-) No more babies for this gal :-)! Best news recently is that our Bink, had a baby girl a week ago, Isabella. Oh Cindy how we wish you were here to see how our family is growing. You would be so proud of your boys...they are wonderful daddies!! Speaking of Daddies...could you please put a good word in for mine up there? He has been battling lung cancer for 9 mths, he's amazing through it all but I'm scared for him. I'll never understand why such horrible things happen to the best people. He cherished all of your visits with him when he had cancer the 1st time. Momma misses you so much and more than anything I wish you could be here just one day to comfort her. Memaw has not gotten over the void in her life since the day you joined the angels in heaven. I kept this open forever because we have no grave to put flowers on or visit to talk to you. Having this outlet is my comfort, even though I know you hear me and are with me without it. It's been 9 yrs and I can still hear your sweet voice telling me "Mel, don't believe those doctors, I know without a doubt you will have babies. You will be an amazing mother...trust me honey!" You were right and I know you have been watching over us every minute. I love and miss you more than ever! Time has not lessoned the loss of you and your friendship in my life! I hope you are proud of all of us!!

Hi Cindy Sue,
It has been a long time since I posted anything, not because I haven't thought of you but just because I have been crazy busy. I am sure you had something to do with the arrival of my Landon Boo and watching over Daddy and I during the transplant. I wanted to thank you for that. Gosh, I wish Landon could have met you but, I promise he will definately know who his "Aunt Cindy" is. I can't believe you have been gone from me for almost 5 years. I miss you so much. I will try to write more often. This helps me to feel like you are still here, talking to me like we used too sitting on your bed. I love you tons...

Melanie Bennett

December 12, 2007

Hi, sorry I didn't write anything for Thanksgiving. So, Happy Thanksgiving!! We all sure do miss you bunches during the holidays. Please kiss my Hercules for me. I feel such a void without him here with me, The same as I feel without you & Memaw Faye. I will be thinking of you on Baking day especially. We used to have so much fun together. I love you and miss you. (I love and miss you too Hercules-more than you could ever know baby!!)

Hi Cindy, Happy Late Birthday, I did wish you one but I wanted to wait until today to write. Figured I should not cry on the day you were born but on the day you left us. I still miss you so very much. We had Colby's birthday Sunday..Wish you could have been there. It was at the skating rink. I asked Dawayne for your Urn on Saturday and he let me have it till Sunday afternoon. So I took you to the party and everyone got a chance to sit with you. It was the first time any of us were able to have it. Dawayne seems good, still misses you but he is much better now. Jackie is getting married to Megan finally so that is wonderful and Michael, well I don't know what he is doing of late. I am on fertility meds now so please ask GOD not to give me more than 3 at once I might have a nervous breakdown..ha I love you so much, life surely isn't the same without your presense but sometimes I dream of you and we are talking and when I wake up I feel as if you were really there. Strange but is comforting as well. 2 whole years, I can't believe it honey. Till next time...LOVE LOVE LOVE, MEL

Hi Honey!! Today is your anniversary and I wanted to let you know that I rememembered. I missed you so much this weekend, especially when Momma made fresh chocolate chip cookies and Tyla came over. You were the only one missing.... :-( Love you, Mel

January 12, 2007

Hello baby girl--I hope all is well in heaven. I missed you at my wedding. I thought about you, I know you would have been so proud and happy for me. Thanksgiving and Christmas were still hard for me. I saw the boys, they look well and are trying hard to make their lives good. Jackie finally asked Megan to marry him. Yay!!! Sept. 29 is the day. I am so happy, I married a wonderful man and you would have loved him. I have not forgotten you. Sorry I did write sooner but life is busy. Please watch over us, I am sure you do anyway but we need it sometimes. I love you very much. Mel

hi darling...its been a while. I miss you more than ever now. Cindy!!! I am getting married. Thank you for sending Johnnie to me. He is truly wonderful!!Iknow you used to pray for this for me. I wish you were here to share this moment with me in person. I can just imagine your face...seeing me in my dress. We all know that you were the best with decorating. I will be thinking of you on my wedding day. I have never forgotten you nor will I ever. We are lighting a candle to represent you but that is no substitution for having you beautiful face there. I love you very much and with all my heart I know you will be with me...with all of us. I miss you tremendously...it just won't be the same without you, but we will all be thinking of you. You are still very much a part of our lives. Till next time...your niece....NaNa oh, and by the way I am pregnant and if it is a girl I am naming her Cynthia Rowan Bennett...for you.....

Hi honey...I sent you a message for you birthday but it didn't post. I wanted you to know that not a day goes by that I don't think of you. We had momma's birthday and it was sad without you. You always brought a sense of happiness to our family parties. I still cry for you often. It has been easier than it used too. but I wish that I didn't love so much and so passionately...I definately feel the void of you being gone from my life. I love you so much and even though time passes like it always does...it is times like tonight when I remember standing next to you in that hospital room and seeing you take your last breathe that makes me wish there was something I could have done to make you wake up. I don't think Memaw will ever recover from what has happened even if she still has us. When you left I lost a part of me and I will never get it back. I hope that in heaven you know this and love me as much as I miss you. CINDY... it is amazing how one person can change everything by leaving. I bet you never knew what an impact you had on our family. Now you know...I will never ever forget you or how much I love and will ALWAYS miss you. I hope you are watching over me cause I sure need it sometimes. I hope that I die before the other people in my life do. Cause the hurt, pain, and love seem to be a curse at times. Love you, your niece Melanie

Your Baby Sis

April 24, 2006

Hey sis. Happy Birthday. I went to mommas this evening with Donna and put some flowers and a Angel by your tree. I think we held in there pretty good. We all missed you yesterday at Colby's 9th birthday party. I know that Wednesday is gonna be rough on all of us, but we are a strong family and I know we will get through it together. I know in my Heart that God took you on Colby's special day for a reason. He was very special to you and you are special to him also. Please give Memawe Faye a big Kiss for me and I Love and Miss You both very much. Take Care and God Bless You Both. Love Ya Big Sis. Bye for now but not forever.

Hi honey, still thinking of you all the time. Can't believe that in 2 weeks it will be 1 whole year since I have touched your hand, seen your face, or watch you take a breath. The memory is like it was only yesterday. I had a dream the other night that I had talked to you and ya know it stayed with me even now. Like I had my Cindy back if only when I was asleep. Felt really good to hear your voice again. I love you and miss you more than anyone and I always will...Mel

Cindy, Cindy... I hope you can help us right now. Looks like Daddy is going to need a Kidney transplant too. I am scared to death, it has been less than a year since you have left from the same procedure. Gosh, does it ever end...sure doesn't seem like it. Wish you were here so much... I want to talk to you, you could make the situation so much more calm...you know the rest of us are SPAzzz. Please talk to God and don't let him take my Daddy yet.....I don't think I could take another heartbreak so soon.. None of us can. LOVE YOU!!!!!

Hi sweetheart! I am better now, but I still miss you bunches... Please watch over the family they have really fallen on hard times since the hurricane. I haven't heard much from the boys lately but Memaw tells me they are fine. I still think of you all the time and I actually have started to go back to church. Thank you sweetie, you have given me strength I never thought I had. I miss you so very much but at least now I can talk about you and listen to "We Belong Together" without crying. I have accepted that you are gone, even if I don't like it. I am sure that for the rest of my life I will cry for you from time to time, however I rejoice in the fact I was so blessed to have loved you and had your love in return. You are an angel and I hope my life is just as fullfilled as yours was. I love you so much... your niece...Melanie

Uncle Larry & Aunt Betty,

I pray you are all well today and that you will see this eventually. I just found out that sweet Cindy went to be with the Lord in April and I cannot begin to express my sympathy. I guess I'm especially emotional about it at this trying time, since we haven't heard from y'all since Sunday and can only hope and pray that you are all safe. Please accept my sincere condolences and apologies that they come so late. Cindy truly was a lovely person and I know that she will be dearly missed. I haven't seen her in nearly 10 years, yet the impact of her loss has taken the wind out of my sails. May God be with you all.

Sincerely, Linda

Good morning sweetie. It has been a while and I wanted you to know I was thinking of you today. I went to Gabriel's last weekend, gosh the boys are adorable. William is talking now and Evan is like a big butterball (so cute). I wish you could have been there. A few times I imagined that you were, with a huge smile on your face, just drinking up the moment. Well, I did it for you, honey. I am going back to college, but I bet you already knew that. Whoa, it is a bit intimidating. But, I am gonna do it this time and then we will have my graduation party in your front yard. I promise!!! I love you, Cindy and I still miss you every single minute of my life. I can't wait until I see you again. Your Niece, Melanie

Hi honey, it has been 3 mths since you left me. It still feels like yesterday. Cindy, I am falling apart...seems everything is going so wrong. I can't let go, I don't want to. I don't sleep anymore and I think I have lost my strength. I spend so much on everyone else that now I have none for myself. GOD, why didn't you wake up? Come back, please...I need my CINDY...we all need our CINDY. Especially Memaw...she hurts so much for you. I can't help her. It kills me to see her this way. Momma and Tyla too, they miss so. I never want to have to live without my baby sister, Steph is my heart.The pain is too immense! Where am I supposed to release it? Seems lately alcohol is my only out and I don't like it at all. I miss you more than you could imagine. If you can please please please help me. I think sometimes I love too much. This is so much worse than when Stephen left. I haven't even fully recovered from that, how am I ever going to from this? I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!! I hate having to talk to you this way, I want to sit on your bed for hours like we used too. Talking to your ashes is just way to unbearable. When I try to talk aloud, the dogs won't leave me alone. They feel it too. So, I will keep writing until I am unable to. Goodnight sweet lady.........

Hi Sweetheart...I know you know what has been going on. Gosh, I want so much to hear your voice, telling me to "hang in there" Funny, how life seems so wonderful and then at times seems to be falling apart. Where is my redemption? Sometimes I dream of you and you are so vivid, like you are sitting on your bed, holding my hand laughing at my crazy stories. Finding the humor in some of the most awful circumstances, thanks for that. I need that right now. I have been told that missing you will become easier, I don't know who said that but they couldn't be more wrong. I dread the holidays this year, but I promise I will be there for the family. You always knew I would be, cause I always have been. I love you bunches and I found a picture of us that I wanted to share with everyone so today I am going to post it. I look to the stars every night, I believe the brightest one is YOU watching me...

July 11, 2005

I want to extent my condolences to all of Cindy's family. Dawayne, Jackie, and Michael I wish you the strength to remain strong until the day you reunite with your wife/mother. She was a great woman who had my deepest respect. She always made me feel like part of the family and for that I will never forget her. The shared holidays with her will always be precious to me. I find this hard to believe and still imagine Cindy running around like a busy beaver taking care of her family. I was fortunate enough to let her know one day online that I care for her and love her. Cindy, I have and will miss you. You will always be in my memories. Love, Steve Sarrasin.

June 25, 2005

Hi, it is me again...I just wanted you to know that I am still missing you and that I love you so much... I wish so much that you could be here for my birthday...I think of you every single day. Please watch over us. I don't know what is happening with the boys but they need you so very much. I promised I would do what I could for them, but is seems that you held them together. I pray that they will survive your passing. It is so very very hard for me so I can't imagine what it is like for them. Cindy, I want to wake up and believe this is a horrible dream, why can't things be the way they used to. So often we all take things for granted. I never took you for granted, I know that you know how much I love you and am waiting for the day my heart will be consoled. I will see you again, that I am sure but I want so much to go back to Easter Sunday when we were all together. Missing you still...your niece...

Laura Andrianopoulos

June 13, 2005

I just want to send my condolences to the whole family. I was there with Mel in the hospital room where Cindy was surrounded by her family and friends. Along with the sadness and tears, you could also feel the love and support and unity in the room. As heartbreaking as it was to watch Cindy take her last breath, it was a beautiful thing none the less to witness the compassion and strength of her family. I know she is in a better place now, free of pain. I know she is watching over everyone and would be touched at the outpouring of sentiment.

I know she will be missed.

I also know that while her family was fortunate to have such a caring and generous sister, daughter, mother, wife, and aunt; she herself was also fortunate in having the strong and loving family that I saw that day in the hospital. My condolences to you all.

Hi Aunt Cindy,

Well tonight is sad for me. I can't really sleep and I am realizing my birthday is coming up in a few weeks. I remember last year when everyone surprised me at your house with balloons, cake, and you made your cheesy chicken pasta stuff especially for me cause you know how much I love it. Being here in Florida, noone really knows how much I cry for you or how much I love you. I am not sure I even knew how much I love you until this has happened. I don't care if I have to write you 100 times, this is the only thing I can do that makes me feel a little better. I hope you know that everyday I think of you, miss you, love you and pray that eventually I will understand why this was the best way. I guess I am selfish, but I can't help it. So badly I want to have you here with us again, with me again. Until next time...I love you---Na' Na'

May 22, 2005

Hi Cindy,

I know that I already wrote one of these too you but I feel like I should write another. It has been almost a month since you left me, still I am heartbroken. Every night I remember you in my prayers and dreams. Evan's christining is this weekend and I know you will be with us. This will be such a hard time for everyone because it is the first time we have gotten together without you. I wish with all my heart that I could see you again, that you could stand next to Gabriel at the church and smile at his son. I have cried so much that now I am angry. No matter how I try to understand all of this, there is no acceptable reason. I know that one day this will be easier for me but right now more than ever I would give almost anything for your advice. Please, watch over me, Steph and Mom cause right now we so desperately need you. Still loving you and missing you...your Niece...Melanie

Aunt Cindy,

A lot has happened since you have passed, but it is still so hard for me to believe that you are gone. It seems like just yesterday I rode with you and daddy to bring uncle dawayne to the airport so he could go to Alaska. I remember the first time I stayed at your house with you. We had so much fun together. We played bingo and talked about anything and everything there was to talk about and you always showed me your pictures from when you went to Alaske with Uncle Dawayne. I know that everyone from your family has known you your whole life and love you SO Much!,I know I haven't known you for very long,but it seems like I have known you for my whole too! The first thing that pops into my mind when I think of you is your Generosity! I know that if someone needed somewhere to stay or needed a few dollars to get back on their feet, you were always there willing to help. I just want you to know I always and will always think of you and talk to you before I go to sleep everynight! I love you soo much and I miss you deeply!

Love,

your niece,

Megan

I can't believe someone I saw just a short while ago is now gone.It seemed like there would be more time. Time out of the hospital, time to visit us, time to use the strength that you found during your recent ordeal.The members of my A\A group have told me that the most trying times of my life would come as I find sobriety, but I never feared anything like this.In A\A we are taught to look to God (as we understand Him) for help with removing our desire to drink. As I have been finding my own God to follow I have learned quite a lot about myself and what I believe to be God.One thing I have learned is that anyone who would go to the trouble of helping me repair my life , a life I seldom cherished or respected ,will also welcome you to His home , for you have earned a place there.

Gabriel George

May 11, 2005

Aunt Cindy,



Where do I begin? I love you so much and find myself wanting to talk to you but you are gone now. You have done so much for me as a child and an adult. What hurts the most is that my boys will not be able to know you like I do. What I remember the most about you is your GENEROSITY towards all. I am glad that you are not in any more pain but I find myself holding back the tears when I think of you. I wanted to get up and talk during your service but no one would have been able to understand my words past the sniffling and choking. I would have told the congregation how you came to Evan's birth when you were very sick and barely able to get around. You made a 4 hour trip and set in the waiting room for hours just to catch a glimpse of your great nephew. I can promise you one thing. MY boys WILL know how great you were and how much you gave to our family!!! I love you very much and I talk to you everyday even though you are gone. If there is anything that I regret it is that I have not always been able to be there for you when you needed it the most. I'll be talking to you and I know that you will be listening. You are BEAUTIFUL!!! Love your heartbroken nephew, Gabriel and Anna, William, and Evan.

Cindy, I miss you with all of my Heart and Soul. My heart is broken and crushed, but it also cries a sigh of relief for your pain is now gone. Even as much as it hurts, I still Thank God for taking you into his arms and holding you forever. I know that one day I will see you again and give you the biggest hug you have ever had. I missed you at Colbys birthday party yesterday on Mothers day, but I am so glad that Dawayne and the boys came to it. My song to you is ANGEL by Sarah McLachlan from the movie City of Angels. In the arms of the Angel, may you find some comfort here. That line I dedicate to you MY LOVING SIS. God needed another ANGEL and he chose you. I beleive that with all my HEART. I LOVE YOU CINDY SUE!

Cindy,

I am going to miss your cheerful spirit and warming smile everyday. Its hurtful to think that God could take such a loving being from this earth, but I am thankful that he did shared you with me for so many years. You are in your bliss now, Cindy, and I know that I will see you again someday. No one could even fill the place that you have in heart. I love you and miss you deeply, your niece

I can remember junior t-ball, pizza party, and raider football days. Mrs. Cindy was always a devoted mother and a truly loving person. Those days of innocence and love can never be recaptured, but Mrs. Cindy's sparkle illuminates eternity. My prayers and thoughts are with you Shermans.

Cindy, I don't believe my heart has ever been so broken. I will think of you and miss you everyday for the rest of my life. Thank you for being so supportive, caring and loving to me. Nothing could ever replace "My Sweet Aunt Cindy." I wish I could have just one more day to talk to you, there are so many things I want to say. I am sorry that I wasn't there as often as I could have been, now more than ever I would give anything to turn back time. I am blessed that you waited for me, thank you, that was the most precious gift you could have given me. I love you so much. Your niece, Melanie

Our hearts are saddened by the loss of one of the most loving people God created. Her beautiful smile could light up the darkest day. There was never a doubt that her "three boys" were her life. May God comfort them and the rest of her family and friends in their hours of need. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My family and I are very saddened by the loss of Cindy from this world. But we know she is in Heaven's Light and watching those she loved the most.

Her family was her pride. Everyone that Cindy had contact with came away a better person. She always had something good and kind to say about everyone.

My children know her children, played sports together and attended school together. Cindy was just as good an Aunt as she was a mother.

My prayers and thoughts are with her family.

May the grace of God be with her and her loved ones. She will be missed greatly.

It saddens me so to write this. Cindy was the most caring, compassionate, loving soul I've ever met. Always a smile, loving things to say. Never a harsh word.

Your uncle Elvin's heart is broke. He loves you so. We all do. Heaven is a better place because of you. Dwayne, you'll be lost for a while; but, I promise it'll get better. For you boys, cherish all the wonderful memories you have of Mom. You guys were her world.

Love to you all.

My family and I have known Cindy for a long time. She was the sweetest and most caring person you could ever meet. My son, Kevin, grew up with her sons and thought of her family as his. She always welcomed others into her home just as if they were her own. Just remember, the Lord took her to a better place so she could live without suffering. Knowing she is living in peace gives me relief of my sorrows.

Although it hurts so deeply not to see your face again,I know that I will one day be with you again and that is some comfort to me now. So this is not Good-bye but only, Until I see you again, All my LOVE for you I cherish. Your Sister Now and Forever Donna

I knew Cindy when our kids played t ball together many years ago and she was a very dedicated mother to her kids and all kids in general. I hate to hear this about her because she was very close to her family. May God Bless her and her immediate family and extended family.
