I´ll always have Cindy in my heart and I miss her so much. She was so fun, friendly, beautiful, caring & an extremely talented artist. Cindy loved her family and the beach and ocean and her pets very much. She lived her life with more spirit and empathy of anyone I´ve ever known. When I see a extra special sunset now, I´m sure Cindy had a hand in creating it´s beauty.
