I knew Cindi from the pool. She was always so happy. I loved her laugh. I will really miss her. My condolences to the family.

I lost touch with so many when I moved west in 1969 after my Army tour, but I remember Cindi with great fondness from the three years I spent in high school with her in Phoenix, NY. She was always one of the nicest people in our class of '63 and always made this kid from Central Square feel welcome. I'm sorry for the loss to her family but it sounds from what I have read here and on Facebook that she has left you with a treasure trove of warm, wonderful memories to sustain you through your loss. Blessings to all of you.

My heart is saddened by the loss of my oldest and dearest friend, Cindi. We shared everything. Our love of life and people led us both into the Nursing profession and we have always been in communication with each other, supporting each other through life's experiences. Cindi's greatest gift to Chuck and me was asking us to be Godparents to Allissa, Don and Cindi's first born child. We are forever grateful for this privilege. I know that Cindi's strength of spirit and character lives on in both her children,Alissa and Nate, as well as in her five grandchildren, Liam, Sully, Norah, Cooper and Eli. She loved them all so much. I bid you farewell, dear friend, and will hold you forever in my heart and memories.
