Dear Family, our hearts are aching for all of you. We didn't get to see Cindy very often but loved the times we did get to see her.

I wish I could find the right words to say. I have lived across the street from Cindy for seventeen years. Fifteen of those years, she struggled with health issues, fighting to beat the odds. She is truly a hero. She showed unbelievable courage and optimism through all of her illnesses and never gave up. I will miss our talks and the security of knowing you were right across the street if we needed you. Your presense will always be with us. You have been an inspiration to me and I will miss you much.
Love, Joan, Erin and Kaitlin Riley

To the family and friends of Cindy Farrell: I am so saddened to hear of this wonderful woman's passing from this world. I feel honored to have worked with her for so many years and will always remember her as one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Also, I remember her as a talented teacher who was loved by the children as well as her colleagues. Respectfully, Rosemary D'Agostino

You, one of those spectacular persons, who touched so many with your lovely smile, quick wit and caring soul will so be missed. I am proud to be your colleague and loved watching you deal with the most difficult educational problems with such grace and humor. I will always see your twinkling eyes and keep your sweet memory in my heart.

Much love,
