Cindy - I fondly remember getting together when we were all kids back in the 50s. We had such good times together. May you rest in peace, free of pain dear Cousin!

I will especially cherish my time with Cindy the last few years whenever I came home to visit. Eventhough the visits were short, they were filled with laughter and memories about our Holy Cross High School years and our working together at Marie Callender's in the 70's. I will always admire her quick wit, beauty, generosity, and brave heart and spirit. She will be missed very much. I will keep Cindy, her Family and Loved ones in my thoughts and prayers. Love and Friendship always,

Cindy was truly one of my best friends.. we worked together in the emergency department and went to the same nursing school. We always laughed at everything and even with years between us With our busy lives it was like we hadn't been apart for even a day. I am so sorry that she had to suffer the last few years but was happy to be able to spend time with her and talk to her many times a week on the telephone. I will miss her like a sister and will pray for her family and for John and eventual peace... she was truly one of the greatest friends I'll ever have. Much love to you Cindy
