Cynthia "Cindy" Erminger; a Hammond High "Wildcat" classmate, fan, and friend. Cynthia "Cindy" Erminger; a Hammond Clark "Pioneer" fan, booster, mother, and friend. Your mother, I'm proud to say, was a beautiful woman and person; a winner, and a true loyal friend. Your mother and four other mothers, with the assistance of four to five fathers, played a major role in the success of the football program at Clark during my tenure. The true friendship that I had with your mother started when my brother and I were at Hammond High. Your mother, Cindy, my brother, Chris, and I were friends for about 70 years. I shall miss her very much. Not receiving the occasional call from her informing me of information and news about our classmates, the region, families and friends will also be missed. Cindy loved and was very proud of her family. May your mother rest in eternal peace; and her memory be eternal.

Dear Ed, Don, Debbie, Brian and Greg,
My mom spoke very highly of you mother, referring to her as a genuinely kind, empathetic woman and always caring for others. I found that true as my mother's illness progressed. She called me frequently to ask how Mom was doing and she made every effort to come and visit her. When she did she always made Mom laugh. They met while dating our dads. I loved hearing their stories going all the way back to high school. Please know how very proud she was of all of you. I'm so sorry I'm unable to attend her services. You have my sincere sympathies.
