It was with a great sense of loss when we heard of Cindys death. Our hearts are truly saddened. Cindy was more than just a wonderful person, she was always a kind and considerate person. A better friend could not be found. Her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew her. Cindy will always remain within our hearts. With deepest sympathy...

Words can't express how much I will miss Cindy. She was my friend, my sister, an aunt to Rachel and a great mother to two wonderful, responsible young men. Most of all, she was my brother's soul-mate who helped mold him into the wonderful man he is today. Cindy, I will miss you so much; our talks, our visits and your wonderful sense of humor. I wish distance had not kept us apart as much as it did. I will always love you.

Cindy worked with my husband for several years. She became a "go-to" person in his life. He always knew that she would do whatever needed to be done. She leaves a legacy that includes the highest work ethic and reliability. RIP, Cindy
