Cindy Lavon Savage Lewis

Dear Matt and Stephanie, just reading the paper today online and saw this sad news. Your mother was one of the kindest, most loving people that I have known. I know that she loved you and devoted herself to raising you. I am comforted by the fact that you both have been gifted with all of her wonderful traits and that her memory will live on in both of you. Know that you are in my prayers.

I worked with Cindy for a number of years and I could always count on her to help with any kind of problem; not only lab, but life related. She gave me lots of sound advice and you could always count on her to be the voice of reason. She also had a great artistic eye and would give her honest opinion and sometimes suggestions about my various creative endeavors. Her whole face lit up whenever she talked about her children, who were obviously the light of her life. She will be greatly missed.

I was very fortunate to have received training by Cindy. She was a great friend and co-worker. She was knowledgeable and very helpful. She went out of her way to tell me that if I needed help that she was there to ask. We'll miss you Cindy!

My heart aches today, Cindy was fun to work with and was one of my few go-to people. Any question I had, she knew the answer. If I was having a stressful day, I could vent to her and we would shake our heads together. I'll miss you, my friend.

I am so blessed to have had the privilege of having Cindy as parent and volunteer pianist in my kindergarten classroom. She even supported all of our fun and silly programs. Cindy was such a dedicated and sweet friend for a number of years-ever since dear Matthew was a kindergartener. She loved you more than you can imagine and was so proud of you both, Stephanie and Matt. Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers for Cindy and your entire family. I'm so sad to be unable to attend her...
