Connie, We all felt like God but you and Cindy together in that room. We looked at you like an earthly guardian angel!! We are so grateful to you for being so kind and wonderful to our Cindy. We wish you good health and happiness.
To Cindy’s Family,
Always a beautiful smile!
So very sorry and deepest sympathy!
She is an Angel in Heaven.
How do we go on?
We go on by carrying our beautiful Cindy with us every day. We will think of her whenever we hear a song she loved, every time we’re at the beach, when we look through pictures of happy memories, every time we pass a McDonald’s, share a margarita, or hear “Party Time.” In all of those little moments, she’ll still be with us.
Cindy was truly one in a million. Her kindness, laughter, and beautiful spirit touched so many lives, and that love will never leave us.
I can only imagine the beauty and peace she is experiencing now. While our hearts ache because we miss her so much, I find comfort in believing she is whole again.
I think of her every day, and I will continue to hold all of you close in my heart.
Sending you all my love, hugs, and prayers. ❤️
