I remember Cindy as a vivacious and fun person, both during law school and when we were clerking for our respective judges. The world has lost out, but those of us who had the opportunity to meet Cindy will not forget.

I just learned of Cindy's death yesterday. I am so very sad. She was a classmate at UMKC law and was one of the very best people I knew there! She was smart, so very funny and kind to everyone. Just an amazing person all around. I can't imagine her passing so young. I am so very, very sorry.

This is shocking. Cindy was always seen with a smile on her face and ready hand to assist any in need. One was always assured of having a meaningful life event when she was present; she will be fondly remembered as an absolute sweetheart...
