Dennis and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I went to junior high and high school with Cindy. She was an incredible friend and classmate; one of the kindest persons I knew. Her smile will live on forever in our memories.

Dennis, I remember when you first started seeing Cindy. You two were so shy and you two were just so adorable together. It deeply hurts me to know my lifelong bud and pal has lost for now his sweet Cindy.

Such a sweet and kind soul whose special luminescence has faded like the last moment of a breathtaking sunset so stunning, it will forever be imprinted in your mind and heart as you so long to see it for just those few more seconds as the sun hides it's beauty beyond the horizon. Will miss you sweet one.

Dennis, I was saddened to hear of Cindy's illness and now of her passing. Her warm spirit touched so many. I will remember her beautiful smile and the twinkle in her eyes. Cherish the memories...my heart goes out to you and your family.
