Our Dearest Angel,
The week before you passed away, i sent you a card, and in the card i told you how much we loved you and how couregeous you were and we were so very proud of you. Then, i told you that " IT WAS OK " to let go.That you needed to go to Grammy, and she had her arms opened wide for you to come to her. I told you that Joe and the boys would be ok, that they would forever hold you in their hearts and they would never forget you. You see, between Joe, Theresa, Carol, Allen and Ronald, they would always have a part of you with them forever. I thought about you alot that week, and wondered what you thought of my card. Nicole usually goes for the mail, and she missed it on Sat. so i picked it up on Sunday, and low and behold, there was your card, returned to sender. Seems that you moved and i didn't have that address, and it was passed the forwarding time. Then on Monday morning, Aunt Rose called and said that you passed away, and i thought, i wonder if Cindy could feel me teling her it was ok to go. Sometimes, that is what is needed for someone to let go. They don't want to leave their family and i know that the boys were your whole life. Don't worry Cindy, they will remember you forever and always. We will always love and remember you as our angel who fought so hard to stay close to her family.
Love Forever and Always,
Aunt Donna and Uncle Bernie

Cindy and Joe are friends of mine and my boyfriend Larry. Joe, We are truly sorry for your loss. When my mom Alice Koch was in the hospital, all cindy could think about with everything going on, was how I was doing. I was worried about both of them. I will never forget Cindy as the person she was. She always put everyone befor herself. I want to say how much I will miss Cindy. I fell for Joe and the boys. Joe you can call or e-mail if you need to talk.

Dearest Joe, Eric, Stephen, & family -
You all have been like my 2nd family over the many years we have known each other. Our deepest condolences to you at this difficult time. Cindy was a wonderful friend and I am so honored to have spent the time we did over the years - having lunch during the work week at Pizza Como (when she was working at Deiters), hanging out at my house, and catching up with all the gossip! Her sense of humor & great laugh could always put a big smile on my face! Her unselfish time she gave to my son Zachary each day she watched him when he was younger - while caring for her own boys will never be forgotten. I will miss her greatly but I know she is in a better place -free from any pain just like my mom! I hope they have run into each other by now...Joe & boys - please know that I will always be here if you ever need my help or need me for anything - that was my promise to your mom (wife) the last time we talked. I love all of you!
Much love & prayers - Debbie (Novak) Bouman and family (Ron, Zach, & Tyler)

Dear Joe and Family,
Today Cindy will be laid to rest and will be forever free from all the pain and sorrow that life give's up for us to handle. You all have a "special" guardian angel watching over you and remember she will always be there to talk to and to listen. Her spirit and sweet smile will live always in our hearts and in our memories for a lifetime. If you ever feel she's around watching, then she probably is. You will certainly know. She is only a thought away. God Bless

My dear Cindy,
Your suffering is over. We will miss you terribly. I remember the last time uncle Bill and I saw you. He was trying to steal your lunch. All you did was laugh. You were in such good spirits that day. I couldn't stop thinking of your boys and Joe these past few weeks. I know they will be fine. I also think about your mother. Being a mother who has lost a child, this is going to be hard on her. I just know the family will take real good care of her. When you get to heaven,(and I have no doubts that is where you are headed) please give Mary a great big hug from us and tell her we miss her. You will be in great company when you reach your destination.Grammy, Aunt Loretta, Uncle James, Uncle Ralph and our beloved Mary. Rest in peace and God bless you and this wonderful family we all belong to.

To all of Cindy's family and friends- Cindy was a part of "our gang" of kids growing up near Lumber and Tilghman streets in Allentown. She was funny, kind, and sweet. I lost touch with her over the years and it makes me very sad to see she has passed away. God bless all of you and be with you at this time. Remember and honor how she lived.

Dear Belcak family, I loved Cindy very much. She was the nicest most honest stand up girl I ever knew and she will be sorely missed. she never wallowed in self pity and her children and her husband always came 1st to worry about if anything would happen to her, she would say.She was beautiful, a good soul, a good heart and a great friend to have. God bless the Belcak family my tears,prayers, and love are with you.I'll always remember our talks and how much we had in common. I would feel close to you like sisters. I love you Cindy
