You are forever in my heart Miss Cindy ...I have fond memories growing up with you and your family as you and my parents were best friends. You were taken away all too soon. It saddens me that I won't be able to attend your services as I'm out of the country. You will truly be missed. Love from Dawn Kelz (Frush)...one of the fluffy girls
