Cynthia A. Akin

Dear Jan and Herb,

I close my eyes and see Cindy as a little girl, then as a teenager and then as a beautiful grown woman with her own family. She was like a second daughter to me. The world was a better place for having her in it.
Peace and love.

To Cindy's Family,

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Cindy. I just had a dentist appointment this morning and asked how she was doing when I was told that she passed. Cindy passed away the same day as my father who was suffering from lung cancer, though a car accident is what took his life too soon.

Cindy and I were the exact same age, born the same month and only 5 days apart. We shared a lot of stories and she loved her son soo much. I use to see his...

To all of Cindy's family and friends,

I am very sorry for your loss.

I remember Cindy being very rich in spirit with her beautiful smile and infectious laugh.

May peace and God's love be with you.

Dear Jan, Herb and Family ~

I just learned of Cindy's passing yesterday. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you.

She will always be remembered as the pretty, lively blonde girl next door and a friend of my own daughter Chrissy.

It is a parent's worst nightmare to have to bury a child no matter what age parent or child is. I pray for strength for both of you in your loss.

Love,
Jackie and Gary

Cindy, I walked the Breast Cancer 3-Day for you again. This time was so different, you weren't here for me to come see you when I was finished but I could see your smile thru my tears. I took pictures for you as I always do. You will forever be remembered in my heart and your name has been added to the Breast Cancer Rememberance Tent in San Diego. Rest peacefully my friend, you have gone to a place where you will always be young and always be beautiful.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I went to school with Cindy and will never forget her smile or contagious laugh. She fought a long hard battle and now she's at peace with no pain. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of her friends and family.

Dear Todd, Zane and family,

I felt it an honor to have met Cindy when she came to work at Drake Family Dentistry 20+ years ago. Her smile and happy-go-lucky nature made many people comfortable. It was great sharing time together at work with her and also sharing the adventures of her life--your wedding and the birth of Zane to name a few. When she was diagnosed and started her brave battle, there were many times we cried together and I remember telling her how much I...

I remember Cindy from as far back as when we celebrated 1st Holy Communion together at St. Rose's. Her smile never dimmed thru the years. I offer my prayers and sympathy to her family and friends.

My mother, Betty Scott, lived two doors down from you and my son Scott Gordon went to school with Cindy. We also lost Scott to cancer 10 years ago and know the heartache of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
