I just learned of Cindy's death yesterday from my sister. I am so sorry for your loss. It seems like just yesterday we were all growing up and playing and knew that when the bell rang, the Happel kids were to go home. My heartfelt prayers to all who loved and knew her.

Cindy and I were buddies in seventh and eigth grade. We once walked all over two subdivisions together trick or treating. We used to hang out at the Valley High swiming pool. I've lost touch with her over the years and I'm so sad to hear we have lost her.

I just learned of Cindy's passing from Bonnie, another school mate of ours.
Cindy was a lovely, happy person, who always brightened our day. It was a privilege to have her as a classmate & friend at VHS. I pray her family takes comfort in knowing that such a light as Cindy can never be extinguished.

I knew Cindy through RESULTS, seeing her at regional and national conferences for many years. Cindy was funny, energetic, outrageous, and passionately committed to a better, more just world. She will be missed. Steve Arnold
