My beautiful Cins,
You are the sun in my sky- I am so honoured to have been there with you.
I know you'll watch and look over me as I adventure on, experiencing life fully. We walked together, you and I, and my life is so much richer for it.
All my love, always,
Lail

My prayers and thoughts are with Cindy's friends and family at this sad sad time. Having seen her at the end of a nozzle during the Pride parade I could see she was someone so full of life and love. Those who knew her were truly touched by an angel. God Bless Cindy and know that you are missed, terribly and will never be forgotten.

Cindy...your's was a great life, full of adventure,that was an example to live by! A true inspriration! It is a tragic loss to know that we will never again be able to hear those great stories of your's, to see that spectacular smile you possesed or just to hang in your easy going presence. You..to say the least..left us too soon, however..you have left us with a mission. To live our lives to the fullest, to never waste a moment on pity or self doubt. You LIVED your life, you went for the gold rings an accomplished amazing things in the short time you were given. This is what we will take forward with us through our grief..this is one of the many gifts you left us with. Thank you for that! My thoughts are with you as you head into the next adventure on your path. We'll miss you Cindy, and we'll think of you often. My condolences to your family, you gave us a special gift in Cindy..Thank you!!

I remember "back in the day" we met you. We started calling you "baby Cin's", after the cartoon character Baby Huey. You were so tall, and sweet, & you wouldn't hurt a fly. It was all done with love. Thats the real message Cin's, I love you and will always miss the obvious, Pride Parade soakings.We are all so proud to have called you friend, proud of everything you have accomplished in the all too short time you were here. We will never be the same without you. I know that Roy boy was there to meet you. I'm so sorry it went this way.Why you? Why not me? There's no telling why things happen the way they do. I don't get it, but it is what it is.Miss you, Love you Cin's
Your forever in my heart,

What can one say at a time like this? Cindy came the the VFRS with so much enthusiasm and hope that it was hard for a person not to get up caught up in that feeling also. She was a special lady who sought to make an impact on the world and all those within. I count myself fortunate enough to have met her and been influenced by her spirit. My condolences to all those special people that Cindy held in her heart and left behind not just to morn a tragic loss, but to look at a life that was constantly being fulfilled in new and wonderful ways.

There are no words that could ever express the deep pain and sorrow I feel at Cindy's passing.
Cindy meant the world to me and I will miss her more than she will ever know. Cindy was more than a close friend - she was a sister to me.
Cindy - you will forever be in my heart and my mind. You will live forever there.
Thank you for what you gave to this world, my love.
