A best friend from childhood kindergarten thru high school in Georgetown. So many good times, good talks , lots of laughs! Cinda was a beautiful person! Loved animals and good times . I am so glad to have had her as a friend even throughout the years when we got busy with work family and other life things and did not get to visit much. She was very proud of Darrin and her family . I am glad she had a happy good life and got to travel as she had always wanted to do. My sympathy to all, she will be missed and always in my memories. Christine Williams Holycross
