Such a sweet and kind soul whose special luminescence has faded like the last moment of a breathtaking sunset so stunning, it will forever be imprinted in your mind and heart as you so long to see it for just those few more seconds as the sun hides it's beauty beyond the horizon. Will miss you sweet one.

Dennis and kids, Arlene, and Sharon, I was so very sad to hear of Cindy's illness and passing. She was such a beautiful person in so many ways: Wife, mom, friend, teacher, happy camper, comedian, writer, and defender of bears. I will always have fond and funny memories of this very special woman.
