My Aunt Cindy was the kindest woman who always had a smile for you. Her family was everything to her and she showered all of us with love and support. She was always there for us. I can still hear her laugh. She will be missed dearly and I can only hope she has been reunited with Karen and is smiling down on us. This photo was taken at one of our Christmas Eve celebrations.

Cindy was the best mother-in-law anyone could ever have.  She had the biggest heart and the kindest soul.  She always made me feel welcomed and I loved spending time with her.  Cindy made Christmas festive, I loved seeing all her decorations every year inside the house, she knew how to make the holidays special. 
She was taken way too soon; I will miss her so much.  I know this beautiful lady is in Heaven with Karen and in no more pain.  I believe she will be the guardian angel watching over John, her sons and grandkids just like she did when she was here with all of us.  
God received another angel.

Grandma was one of the nicest people in my life. She was nice and kind to everyone. It didn’t matter who you were, should would be nice to them. My best memory of her was going to the beach and having fun together. We would always play board games whenever we were on vacation. I will always remember her and more importantly I will always love her.

So going miss our sweet friend Cindy, is and will be greatly missed, We became friends while working at the Hillsborough County Health Department 20 years ago and remained friends even after I left and moved away. We spoke very often on the phone and kept in touch. 

Now she has her healed body and away from the craziness of the world.  Prayers for the family! May the Lord Bless and keep you, make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you,

When I first met Cindy and John, I was a nervous teenager just trying to make a good impression on her boyfriend’s beloved grandparents. They both graciously welcomed me in to their home and family. I remember that meeting and every one after always beginning with a bright smile from Grandma Cindy. Her bubbly personality was so easy to gravitate towards. I’ll be forever grateful for all of our conversations filled with laughter and the occasional playful eye roll when one of the boys got out of line. Grandma Cindy, thank you for the genuine unwavering love you have showed me from the very beginning. Until we meet again Beautiful. We love you!!

My mother was every thing to me. Words can't explain the pain I feel from not having her anymore. She was my rock and now my rock is in heaven with my sister Karen and when I get there we will be skipping rocks.

Cindy, Baby, you were the strongest women I ever knew. It was a honor to be your life partner for 44 years. Wow! What a ride it was. Me and the whole family will miss you so much.  especially Hazel and Timothy. Your in paradise now, in heaven with Karen. Your pain is gone. We did so many things together, but the last boat ride was special. I could tell because you had that famous smile on. We had a adventurous life. We loved the beach life. Shelling, taking the kids, fishing. When you caught a fish your face lite up like a Christmas light. Me and the kids will dearly miss you on Christmas.You made that day special. I could go on and on because we did so much together. I'll think about you everyday untill I hopefully go to heaven to be with you again. Love John

Cindy is a very special person who loved life and all of her family and friends. She will be missed by all. I will especially miss her checking up on me periodically after the death of my husband earlier this year. Prayers for her family in this difficult time.
