I had the pleasure of being a friend and working (Continental) with Cindy. She was always a bright spot and everyone enjoyed working with her. She always had a story and a great smile.

We lost a terrific lady. She was one of the most amazing people I have ever known! I worked with Cindy at Continental Airlines and shared lots of moments on Pikes Peak as our Dad's competed against each other. She touched so many live, I posted this on the Continental Airlines page and had over 70 responses, testament to how many people loved this wonderful lady. Thank you Cindy for your great friendship over the years, Via Con Dios, I truly hope to see you on the other side. Rest easy.

We owned the Van Horne Cottages in Manitou Springs, CO where the Unser´s stayed when racing on Pikes Peak. My sister found this picture of the family standing in front of one of our cottages.
