I graduated with Cindy from Stoneham High in 1978. We sang together in the Spartan Chorale. What a voice she had. More importantly, she lit up a room whenever she walked in. She had a zest for life that could not be measured.
My deepest sympathies to her family. She will be missed.

To Cindy's family, I just wanted to express my sympathy I did not know Cindy but she was a friend to my niece and helped her through her job at child and family services. It takes a special person to be able to work with diferent people and I believe Cindy was one of those people. My niece believes she now has another angel looking over her. Again my deepest sympathies. Always remeber Cindy's spirit lives on in the hearts of the people whom new her.

To Cindy's Family,
Cindy and I were so close in our high school years and even into our early twenties. Unfortunately time came between us and we lost track of each other. I have some wonderful memories of times we shared; proms,trips down to the University of Hartford,high school graduation, so many laughs and smiles. I will always remember her smile and singing when I think of my high school chum. Please accept my deepest sympathies on this tragic loss. My prayers are with you all.

I knew Cindy in Jr High and High School. I'd play her guitar, and she would sing...man, could she sing. This world is a more beautiful place because of her...I'm very sorry for your loss.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. We have many fond memories of Cindy singing for family weddings. She always had a smile when we saw her and visited us many times when she was in town.
