I was stunned to hear of Cindy’s sudden passing this summer. She was one of the beautiful Thorson sisters I got to know through my friend, Judy Thorson. Fun and vivacious, Cindy would light up the room with her presence. I truly offer my heartfelt condolences to the family at this difficult time.

My cousin Cindy always had a smile on her face. When she smiled or when she laughed, it was just so infectious. I loved being around her. She was fun she was loving and cared about everyone. She loved and adored her boys. When she talked about them she beamed like a proud Mama. Same for her grandkids. A love for them she had, and she'd let you know they were the world to her. She loved her family very much. Having all the sisters together was hilarious. Their brother Billy just brought the calmness to the clan. But not for very long until the girls would be laughing, loud and spreading happiness.
Cindy was just a genuine person. She will be dearly missed but never ever forgotten. I loved being around her. Cindy, you touched so many peoples hearts. Thanks Cuz for all the good memories.
My heart iis sad right now.
Love you forever.
