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.

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 !

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.
