Dear Lowery Family,
It was with great shock that I realized Cindy had passed away as I read the Post Gazette today. I remember what a spectacular mom she was to Katie during her preschool years at Beulah Christian Preschool. I had the honor and priviledge of being Katie and Brendan's first teacher. I also remember Cindy from my Duquesne days. What a beautiful, loving, kind and nuturing mother and wife. I am blessed to have been touched by all of you in my life. You will all be in my prayers. God Bless!

Tom,
We did not find out until today that Cindy passed over the holidays. As you know,Art and I prayed for Cindy, you and your family over the years. She was such a fighter, but now she is out of pain, at peace and in a better place.Hold the good memories close and they will comfort you.

Dear Lowery Family,
I am terribly sorry for your loss. I remember volunteering with Cindy through PTA and chaperoning numerous field trips, and was always glad to share her company. Cindy was such an asset to our community, and gave so much of herself. She will be missed by many.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there with you during your time of sorrow, as I was ill, but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you find peace in knowing that she is now surely with the Lord.

Dear Lowery Family,
I can't imagine how much pain you are feeling right now, and I know that there are no words to say to make it any better. I do know that God has a plan for everyone, and that He has gained another angel with him in Heaven.
Katie, I will remember your mother as a kind, caring, and loving person. No matter how much suffering she was going through, she always took the time to ask about my life and how I was doing. I'll never forget how she sat through a Britney Spears concert with us (completely unfazed by three screaming teenage girls!), or how she didn't mind when we stayed up all night sleeping over your house. She always had a good meal and a smile waiting for us when we came over.
She was constantly putting other people first, and did many wonderful things for her community, and that's something so rare in a person in our world today. You are lucky to have had a mother like that, and I know that we are all blessed to have had her in our lives.
God bless you and your family. I'm always here for you.

Dear Lowery Family,
I was profoundly sad to read of Cynthia's death. I did not know her personally but rather as she served as a member of the school board (I had submitted a charter school application). I attended several school board meetings and always found Cynthia to be kind as well as professional. Please accept deepest sympathy from a stranger who recognized immediately that Cynthia Lowery was a very special person.

The loss of Mrs. Lowery will truly be felt in our church community, our school community and by everyone who had the honor of working with her. Her commitment to excellence was obvious to all. There is no doubt her children will continue to make her proud. I was blessed to know her.

We only met Tom and Cindy once. They were one of the many married couples in our marriage preparation class at St. John Fisher in the early spring of 2000. We ran into both again one evening only a few weeks later at the Eat-n-Park diner on route 22, while waiting to be seated. After a short conversation, we parted ways. I have seen the entire family in church and have listened to Tom read. I always wondered how Cindy was doing over the years since I first met her. I don't have to wonder any more since I know she is sharing eternal happiness with God. May God bless you Tom and your children during your time of sorrow. Cindy and family will be remembered in prayer.

I can't imagine the pain you are feeling right now, but what I do know is that God is good and another angel has entered Heaven's gates. Your mother was a wonderful woman. She always had everyone's best interest at heart. In your time of sorrow think back of all the good memories you had with her. I know right now it is hard to feel any joy in this situation; however, keep your heads held high and share the joy of life your mother had with others. I know she is so proud of you all. May God bless you and your family in your time of sorrow.
December 28, 2009
My deeepest condolences to you and your family. I remember when my children first entered public school. Ryan and Christopher used to challenge each other academically with Cindy always in presence. I also enjoyed seeing her at the various swimming and diving meets. Cindy was always so positive and gave encouragement to Freddie every time he dove. Cindy will be missed and my love/prayers go out to the entire family.

Tom: I just wanted to pass along my condolences to you and your family. I hadn't seen Cindy in many years--law school was a long a time ago. But I remember her smiling face and quiet ways. Your loss must be keen now. But know that many people will remember Cindy with fondness and with regret that she was taken from this earth much too soon. Please accept my deepest condolences and sympathy.

Tom, Katherine, Brendan, and Ryan: Know that there is a cousin in Houston praying that the fond memories will crowd out the grief you feel at this time. Further, know that the more I read of your mother and her service to others, the more I believe she would rather you spend your time serving rather than grieving. May each day that passes lessen the grief that you feel because of your loss.

I shall always remember Cindy as a loving & caring wife & mother. She contributed so very much to the well-being of our church & community.

Tom--Uncle Chick here. Your heart must be breaking today. A heart filled with memories--never to be taken away. Kathrine, Brendan, and Ryan, no words can cover the loss. The experience of losing a Mother is not unique to you, but it is an experience that each of us suffer alone and in you own way. To all the Brothers and Sisters love and concern is all any can give. The time the first sibling dies, there is a an empty seat at the table. A seat that was filled by a loving Sister for 54 years. Always considered a hero and battler by all of you. She will continue to be there in you lives despite the vacancy and lack of physical presence. Know that Uncle Chick and Aunt Peg send our love. I, Uncle Chick, have memories of Cindy that go back a long, long, time. With heartfelt regrets we will be unable to visit with during this time of great sadness.
