In our times of loss, we can sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed with feelings of confusion and sorrow. Hopelessness and despair may well up in our hearts, and it can seem as though comfort is beyond our reach, but as Jesus Christ tells us, “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
It can be said that in the death of my friend, Cindy, a great life has vanished. I love you my friend. My sympathy to the family.

I would like to extend my condolences to Cindy's family and friends. Cindy has been an amazing friend to me for approximately 15 years as well as a wonderful friend to my son. She even lived with us for a brief period of time. I have been blessed to have her in my life, she brought laughter and sunshine into the lives of everyone she met. I will miss her more than I can express. I look forward to one day seeing her again in Heaven. God Bless her family. Angela Callaway and son, Justin West

I am so very sorry that Cindy has passed away. I have been searching for her since I heard that she was sick but I couldnt find anyone who knew how to contact her. Cindy and I were best friends in High School and years afterwards. Bill, Fannie, Jeff, Cheryl and family, I am so very sorry and sadden for you and me. I dont have the words to express it. Please know that I have had you in my thoughts for quite sometime. I only wish I had been able to get there to talk to her and each of you. I have always and will always love your family. All of you were so very welcoming and loving to me. Please forgive my inability to find you during this time.

Cindy and I were friends in high school. I remember fondly the sleep overs and hanging out at her house, and I still smile at the memories of fun, sun-burned summer days at Goodwin Lake. While I didn't see Cindy in recent years, I remember her as a wonderful, caring person, and the gift she leaves behind for all of us who knew her is fond and treasured memories. My prayers are with all of you, and I know God will give you the strength and peace that Cindy would want you to have at this time.

Cheryl and Family:
I am sorry to read about your sister. It sounds as if she may have been sick for some time. May you find peace in knowing the pain and worry is over for her. Life and death is strange and I feel like those who have left us are really all around in the sunshine, wind, rain, snow, and everything we do each day. You have your family to lean on and they are all so precious to us.
