'Sometimes we come to life's crossroads and we view what we think is the end. But God has a much wider vision and He knows it;s only a bend. The road will go on and get smoother and after we've stopped for a rest. the path that lays hidden beyond us is often the path that is best. So rest and relax and grow stronger, let go and let God share your load and have faith in a brighter tomorrow. You've just come to a bend in the road.' -Helen Steiner Rice To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Cindy, please visit our Tree Store.
