I had the distinct pleasure of flying with Cindy back in the mid 1980's when we were both based in Chicago with United. We got a real giggle mid flight when we realized we were both from Cedar Falls. What are the chances out of 20,000 Stews that we ended up on a trip together? I am saddened to hear of her passing (too young), and fondly remember a really nice lady.

Cindy was a friend, a caring soul with a spicy spirit and warm heart. I enjoyed getting to know her these last few years through her involvement in Angelic U member community. I will miss her dearly. My sincere condolences to the family and God´s blessing to her beautiful daughters and grandchildren.
