GUESTBOOK

Sending out deepest sympathy. So sorry to hear of your loss. Cindy was a very loving person. I know she loved her family so much. She is an Angel above watch all the ones she loved. She will be missed. May God be with each of you at this time and Always. With Love and Prayers, -Helene and Bruce Curme

Mike, Nathan, Nicholas, Noah, & Nevin - You were (and still are) Cindy's pride and joy! She loved her family fiercely and was engaged with every aspect of your hobbies and needs - She loved hard and fought hard for you and it showed in her compassion and laughter. When Cindy hosted a party, the details and hospitality were always so welcoming - her Friends Christmas Craft Day and Cookie Exchange was my favorite! She and her momma would also bring extra goodies (homemade chocolates) to share with all the other children at church during those special sacraments - it was always an added gift to all. Her generous heart ALWAYs showed up with a bag full of prizes for the church Mardi Gras table, and she would shuttle you boys around between shift work to ALWAYS volunteer your time! Cindy always went above and beyond to nature and love those in her path. This past July, she and I danced and laughed when we saw each other at the Billy Joel & Elton John cover concert - belting out the songs and laughing. Cindy was an absolute genuine person who worked hard, played hard, and loved hard. Please know that you are in our prayers, now and in the days and weeks and years ahead - hugs, we love you! -Heather, John, and Grace CyGan

I was heartbroken to hear of Cindy’s passing and my sincerest condolences go to her family and friends. I have so many core childhood memories involving Cindy. Bless her, she was often the voice of reason when we were getting out of hand. I’ll always remember her kindness and thoughtfulness. I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. With warm regards, -Anna Ebner Brown
