Cindy was a co-worker and our librarian at Northdale Academy. We just got the information about her passing on Friday Oct 8th. Cindy was a very sweet lady and I enjoyed working and talking with her.She gave me one of the best recipes for lentil soup. I will miss her and thought about her often after she retired. So sorry for your loss. She is definately an Angel.

Dear Mr Marcotte and family, I knew Cindy at Northwestern in the 70's and she found me in Baton Rouge some years later where I was her haircutter for many years. She and I stayed in contact monthly for her haircuts and we would email each other also from time to time. She was a sweetheart and I was very saddened to hear of her passing. She will be sadly missed by all of us at The Mane Event hair salon. Please know you and yours will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Joe and Joy Bananno

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12

While we mourn the loss of our dear beloved Cindy, let us pause to reflect how God knows the condition of our own heart far better than do we know it ourselves.

Luisa and I are so very sorry for your loss. Cindy was one of the very few true friends to Luisa when she came to this country. Luisa and I often spoke of how wondrfull a perso Cindy was. I grew up across the street from Cindy and Greg. I Remember riding the school bus with Cindy when she was just starting school. I dared anyone to pick on her telling them she was my cousin and nobody better mess with her. Cindy was always an intelligent happy angel to me. Her smile and energy was contageous. She will be missed very much but I will pray to her for I know she is in Heaven with her Mom. when you are in Heaven that makes you a Saint and we can pray to Saints. Cindy we thank you for the kindness you gave to a poor immigrant
when no one else would. God Bless You.
