I worked with Miss Cindy at Joe's starting in Feb. My first 4 months I worked 5 nights a week with her. I was amazed that she could run circles around girls half her age...the last couple of months, we saw a shift in her. She wasn't herself..we were concerned. She NEVER complained until the very end. Our co-worker had her baby and I picked her up to come with us to see new baby (pics on my FB). She thanked me for letting her come..she said I made her feel like "one of the girls"...i said, "miss Cindy , YOU ARE ONE OF THE GIRLS"...SHE WILL BE MISSED TERRIBLY BY ALL "US GIRLS"..LOVE U Miss Cindy..no more pain...u have Eternal life with God
