Cindy was a beautiful person both inside and out! She was the first person I met at Clark and made me feel welcome and cared about! We shared a love of crystals, shopping, and sharing stories about our dogs. When my own mom passed she was so amazingly supportive and kind. My thoughts, prayers, and positive energy go to your family during this time.

Gracie loved Ms Bobalik. She colored her a picture of flowers. Ms Bobalik printed it out and hung it in her office at Clark. She will be missed greatly. We are so sorry for your loss.

Words cannot express my sincerest condolences. It was an honor to call her not only a co-worker, but also a friend. Her legacy is all the hearts on which she left a footprint. She will be greatly missed, but her memory lives on in all hearts she touched.
