Dear Cindi:
You were the neighbor that had been missing from my life for so long. How blessed was I not only to have you and Buddy next door, but also to become true friends. I am grateful for all of the special times we shared, with good people, good conversation, much laughter, good food, and always some amazing dessert that you ‘just happened' to bake that morning. I will miss your sweet smile and our driveway conversations, but I will carry your memory and that lovely smile in my heart always. Be at peace now, dear Cindi. Love, Barbara

My dear Cindi, I will miss your wonderful smile , the hugs and our little chats at the dental office.. God has a beautiful new angel. Rest In peace my dear friend. Rosalie Barrett

July 11, 2014

Though I did not have a chance to know Cindy, from everything I have heard about her and from what I can see in her beautiful smile - the same one she passed on to Kelsie, that she is a warm-hearted, compassionate, soul with a sense of humor and a love of life. She will most certainly be missed forever.
To lose anyone we love suddenly is tragic, and losing a mother at a young age is really heart-breaking. I am so saddened and sorry for all 3 of you, Felton, Cindy, and Kelsie to have to be parted when none of you were ready. Life is so unfair.
Sending much love and positive energy for you now, and for as long as you may need. If there is anything I can ever do, please know I am only a text away.

Cindi was not just a coworker, she was my friend. She was always there for everyone with a hug, rub on the back and a kiss on the cheek. If you only knew how many lives you have touched.
Save me a place next to you Cinderella. Life will never be the same.

July 10, 2014

Cindy was one of the kindest people I ever met in my life. She also had the best sense of humor, and was never, without a loss for words.

I always enjoyed hearing her hilarious stories, especially the one about: Dr. Cianciulli!

Cindy has passed on, her all wonderful qualities, to her daughter Kelsie.

I also had the pleasure of knowing Kelsie, through my daughter Tara.

I'm thinking of you today Cindy, and all the wonderful memories you have left to all of us, who loved you.

Someday we'll be reunited again, in Heaven.

Buddy and Kelsie, my prayers are with both of you.

We only knew Cindy from her visits to our store across the street from the dentist office. She was always very pleasant and friendly. We would often talk about our Subarus. Her pleasant smile will be sorely missed. She was too young for God to take her home.

July 10, 2014

Cindy was a dear person who always made going to the dentist a joy with her stories and laughter. I will miss our chats while Vinnie had his mirror and drill in his hand. Rest is peace you will be missed.

Oh how we will miss Cindy at the dentist. We have known her for over 30 years. She was the best! I will never forget our conversations. She would make me laugh! Dr. C loved her as his assistant for all those years. Every co-worker loved Cindy. There was no one like her! She will be so missed by every heart she has touched throughout her life. Her presence will always be there at the dentist. I will hold on to all the great memories and just smile. Peace be with you.
