I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts.

Dear Family and Friends,

I am only now, getting a chance to go online to read your messages.

The tremendous outpouring of sympathy and kind words have truly been a blessing. We are so thankful for the prayers offered on our behalf requesting God's comforting hand to strengthen us during this trial of faith.

It's gratifying to know that Cindy was loved and appreciated by so many wonderful friends. It brings a measure of peace to know that her life was such a positive influence for good on the lives of those around her.

Words can not express, and seem totally inadequate, when attempting to convey how important your love and support were last week. I couldn't imagine having to endure this ordeal alone. Please know that each word whispered silently in prayer, or supportive warm embrace were gratefully recieved.

I will forever be thankful that you were there for me, and eternally grateful that you reached out to Laura, Jared, and Andy when they needed you most.

Please accept my sincere thanks for all you've done to support my family.

Cindy was a beautiful person. She loved our kids at South and treated them as her own. She was always cheering for them. We were truly blessed to have had her in our lives. I will never forget her sitting or laying on the gym floor taking those wrestling photos and how excited she was to share them with kids.

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.
