Read MoreSo sorry to see Cindy's passing. I used to work with her at Wells Fargo and she was the sweetest lady that will be greatly missed. I remember her talking about her grand-dog that was Mike's Doberman Pinscher. I had a miniature one so we talked a lot about them. Such a beautiful lady inside and out, thinking about you all during this time.

I was so sad to get your call Mike. Even though I didn't know Cindy very long it was easy to see what a beautiful soul she had. We all enjoyed her at GSS-Scotland. She worked so hard to get back to her home. I am so glad her path crossed ours here in Scotland. With deepest sympathy.

I’m saddened to learn of Cindy’s passing. I remember many good times with her for we were in the same graduating class.
Find solace that Cindy is now a twinkling star in our heavens.
