I worked for Cindy through a work-study program under Comprehend, Inc. in Maysville, Kentucky through 2007-2009. Cindy provided me with an excellent reference for my resume in 2020, after 10 years of homemaking then returning to the workforce post-divorce. I did not know she passed the same year and had been looking to reconnect with her since. My heart is broken, but Cindy's impact is still known and felt all these years later. Thank you, Cindy, for everything, and for having the most profound impact on my career.
