You will forever be in my heart. You have been my best best friend for a long long time. Not sure how life will be without you. Rest In Peace my sweet Angel. Until we meet again….
Stacy, Gayle, all the boys . She loved you all. You made her proud everyday. My heart aches for you all..
Oh my gosh Cindy, I was hoping it wasn’t true. I am so sorry and sending my condolences to the family. I sure enjoyed working with you all those years.
My heart goes out to Stacy and Gayle’s today.. Cindi was one of a kind and a beautiful soul that loved her family more than life itself. She will be missed by many. Will never forget how much fun she was to be around at work as well as any of the many parties and girls trips to the Ozarks. I’m saying prayers for your families to get through this difficult time. Please know even though I moved away a few years ago I still thought of her often. Prayers and Hugs to you both.
Hurts my heart to hear this news. Prayers for all. Loved working with you Cindy! So many years ago, but, never forgotten?
I am sure I don’t have the words to comfort the family at this time, however I do know I was blessed to have Cindi in my life and so many good memories over many years. I am forever thankful for that. Cindi a beautiful person inside and out. Stacy, your Mom is so proud of you and the beautiful young woman you are today. Prayers and comfort to you, Todd, Gayle, Sam, Allan, and the entire family.
Cindi – when I get to Heaven I know we will have a joyous reunion. Love you sister !
I was so very sorry to hear the sad news that Cindi passed away. Rest in Peace my dear friend. I will never forget the fun, fun times we had while working at the Water Company. My heart goes out to her family. May you find peace & understanding for your great loss.
Sad to hear this. I knew Cindy in the 90s when she was dating Garland McManus. We did Sunday morning bowling and bicycle poker run. She was fun to be with. Even though I haven’t seen her in a long time, I will always remember her. My sincere condolences.
