My deepest sympathy and prayers are with the entire Isler family and all of her close friends. I was very saddened to hear of her death. Although I didn't know Cindy well, I vividly remember her from high-school (and that was a long time ago, I was in the 1991 class from GLHS) and what a great athlete she was. I remember she always had a smile on her face and she always seemed to be kind to everyone. I'm so sorry for your loss - you are all in my prayers.

Nancy, Jerry and Cherie,

Words can not even begin to express the sadness I feel for you. Your daughter, your sister was a beautiful person both inside and out. I am so glad that I was able to know just how very special Cindy was. Cindy was very blessed to have you Nancy as her mother - very loving and caring. Jerry, Cindy took after you with her athletic involvement - you are an awesome Dad. And Cherie, what a great sister you are!



Our children are gifts from God. He chosen us parents' to love, care, guide and nurture them while on earth. Sometimes God calls them home before us - so very hard. Cindy had the best! Love you all.
