I'm so sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. Cindy was such a wonderful person. Cindy groomed my dogs and was such a kind soul to my dogs and everyone else's too. Cindy would share all her pretty plants & flowers. Cindy was so proud of her eggs that she painted. Those eggs were outstanding too. May your family's find peace in your hearts during this difficult time. Cindy will be missed in Foley.

Shane & Troy, Im so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a woman who could wear many hats. 
She was such a talented person in all her arts & crafts and hobbies. 
Her love for her Cocker Spaniels ( aka.. Buffy ) and im sure many others was contagious. I have now owned 4 Cockers... because your mom had Buffy and I just fell in love. :)
Your mom loved you both and I am just at a loss for words... I know there is not one word I could say that would heal your grief, but I sure hope you know that your mom had such profound impression on many and was a woman like no other. 
Keep the memories close to your hearts.. because I as well as many others are keeping you in our prayers tonight!
