Kevin, I’m so very sorry for you and your family’s loss

Single Tree

We are so sorry for your loss. Cindy, tutored our daughter Giovanna and taught our youngest Bella. She made a tremendous difference in our daughters lives. We will be forever grateful for having her in our lives.

Dear Cindy,

I received the news today and the very first thing I did was call you. I hoped you'd answer and that it would've all just been a miscommunication.

You are, without a doubt, the reason I am the educator that I am today. I am so deeply grateful for your mentorship, the love and support you have always showed me, and the active role you have played in helping me be the best version of myself both personally and professionally.

I love you so very...

Prayers and condolences for the Gallagher family

I met Cindy at a church function. She was deliberately kind, enthusiastic, and had this laugh that would awaken joy within even the most grinch filled heart. Cindy, may your memory on Earth be fondly remembered and celebrated as beautifully as you have lived. My sincere prayers for your family and the children you have mentored along your life’s journey. May GOD bless us always.

Dear Kevin, our deepest condolences, we are thinking of you and your family as you go through this tough time.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal"

With love and prayers ,
Kostiuk family

Heaven has another beautiful angel.
