Dear Don, Kimberly and Christian:
Cindy was such a dynamic, smart, fun loving, wife, mother, daughter, professional and friend who is deeply missed. She ran a full life and her kindness and integrity were always present, as she was with the people who loved her.
I am deeply sorry for your loss, she was one special person who will always live within us.
My sympathy, condolences and love go out to all of her family. 
Her true priority.

I worked for Cindy at Seneca Foods for 22 years. She was the best boss, mentor, confidant and friend  ever. She was always a great listener whether it was work related or personal. We shared many of our life experiences with each other and often talked about our children, spouses and families. My grand kids only knew her as Aunt Cindy.  I can't begin to express how much I respect Cindy and appreciate everything she taught me. Bless you Cindy!   Everyone in Heaven will love and appreciate you as much as we all do. 

With condolences,
Diane Marciano 

What can I say? She was a kook…  I took this picture at the end of a very long day at Seneca’s office in Sarasota.  We were trying to     update some project files,  we were tired, and getting slap-happy. I looked over and she’d misappropriated the post-it note pad.  It was time to go home. I love you Cindy, and will miss you.

People sometimes come into our lives and leave an everlasting impression. Cindy was one of them. She was truly a remarkable person, brutally honest, fair, joyful, full of vigor, and truly a wonderful human being. I am greatly saddened that we lost such a soul and so early. 
My prayers and thoughts go to her family in this difficult time. 

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy.  ❤️
Don, and family, shocked, and heartbroken to hear this sad news of Cindy’s passing.
No words, it was an honor to call her my friend. My condolences to you, and your family.  I worked with Cindy, Mrs Love, Live, and Laugh, over 30 years ago, at Seneca Foods.  She left a lasting positive impression on me because of her ambition, sense of humor, and her caring, loving attitude toward everyone she met. I know that she is absolutely in heaven.
You, and all those who loved Cindy, are in my prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss.  Cindy was always our go to person for the Clarence Swim Club.  We so enjoyed spending
time with her and your family at swim practice and swim meets.  She was a remarkable person who made us feel welcome from the moment we met her.  Please know that you all are in our thought and prayers. With love, Jackie, John and John Robert Kraus  

I will forever be grateful for having been blessed with such a cool boss.  I worked with Cindy for 35+ years and worked directly for her as her "right hand man" for at least 20 of those years.  This photo was taken at another co-worker's retirement party several years ago and although I don't remember the circumstances of her leaning in and giving me a kiss on the cheek, I love how it represents our friendship aside from being colleagues.  Cindy and I basically "grew up" together at Seneca Foods.  She was at my wedding, she was there when I had my daughter, she was even there for me when I went through a divorce. Cindy had a great way of making our office a fun place to work and I will forever miss her laughter and quick-wittedness.  I have so many memories with her I wouldn't even know where to begin to post them here...once in a lifetime you meet someone you just click with right away and Cindy was one of those people.  She was generous, she always had my back and would go to battle if need be to make sure I was taken care of in my job.  Her and I would break out in song lyrics if someone else said something that triggered it...and that person would look at us like we were crazy but Cindy and I were always just on the same page.  As her assistant, she could send me an email with no explanation and I would just know what she wanted done.  I am so grateful for everything she taught me over the years, for her confidence, trust and faith in me as an employee, and most of all for her true friendship.  Such a huge loss in the Seneca community as well as for her family and friends.  I can't even begin to convey how much my heart hurts for everyone she knew and for this tragic loss in all of our lives.  She certainly left her mark.  Forever blessed to have known her...  ~ Lisa Cramer

Don, Kimberly and Christian,

Words cannot express the deep sympathy we feel for you at this time.  Cindy/Mom  would be so proud of all of you and the strength that you have shown.  Her memories will carry on and she has shown signs this week  that she is still with you.  I can only say we are a phone call,  short flight or drive away and we will be here for you always.  We love you,  Anna & Dennis

My dear friend.  It has taken me a few days to write this as I try to collect my thoughts.  We were both on the same path in life. We worked at Seneca Foods, we both had April Anniversaries, our spouses birthday were both a week before ours making us 1 year older for a week. We had our first babies together. 

I will miss you Cindy 💔 Rest in peace among the Angels.🙏✝️🙏

My deepest condolences to all the family.  Cindy and I worked together for many years.  She was a wonderful person who was professional and compassionate.  We shared many laughs along the way.  I will miss her.  May your faith give you peace and comfort.

Dear Don 
I was so saddened to see that Cindy has passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Wishing you strength and comfort and may cherished memories comfort you always.
With Sincerest Sympathies,
Dr. Rick Vienne

I worked for Cindy for a little over 5 years.  I always enjoyed talking NFL, NHL and/or Walt Disney World with her.   Even though we didn’t root for the same teams she was always excited to tell me about her love of the Bills and Sabres and I loved those conversations. I will really miss her and will think of her often during the NFL and NHL season. 

My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. 

With our deepest sympathy to you all. Cindy was a wonderful woman. I enjoyed knowing her thru the girl's high school years. She made the most of every cross country and track meet.  Looked forward to seeing her at them as she raised team spirit. 
She most definitely will be missed. 💔 With love, The Greaves family

I have worked with Cindy for 22 years.  .  Cindy's presence and booming laugh will greatly be missed here in the office.  She always took the time to listen and always gave great advice.  May my condolences to you and family bring you comfort and peace to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart.

Aunt Sandy and Tammy,             I am still in shock as I am sure everyone is and still unable to rap my head around that such a sweet , loving person is gone. She will definitely be missed and just know our hearts are broken along with yours. Sending all our love and prayers Donny, Kimberly and Christian.

In the short time we have become neighbors in FL we were always uplifted by Cindy’s cheerful and thoughtful ways. If there’s anything we can do to help Don and the family in LWN please let us know.  Deepest condolences to the family from Al and Cheryl Gross. 

Cindy's Family:  Very sorry to learn of the passing of Cindy. She was a wonderful person and we (the gym's crew) will miss her very much.

Thank you for being a great aunt and godmother. Will always have you in my thoughts. 

Don, We are so very sorry to hear about Cindy. In the short time we knew her she became a friend and a caring neighbor. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are heartbroken.

I worked with Cindy in Human Resources at Seneca.  She was a dear friend and the BEST boss ever.   I’ve yet to know someone who worked harder than Cindy did to always do the right thing with integrity.   And while she cared deeply about her team at work, she was most proud of her family.  They were her source of joy, and I pray that God continues to comfort them during these most difficult times.

I truly will always love and miss Cindy’s vibrant spirit. I know she will be in heaven because she always wanted the best for everyone with no selfish intentions. She wanted all the kids to succeed, not just Kimmy, but that was already given because she was a beast! I’m so grateful to have met her and crossed paths with her during my life. I’ll always think of you, Cindy and pray for the family that loved you and needs healing through this loss. 

Dear Don, Kimberly and Christian,

Our deepest condolences for Cindy's passing.  What a remarkable life Cindy lived-so full of Love and Joy.  We will truly miss her.  Her values, life lessons, hopes and dreams became a part of our family.  So many wonderful things in our lives have been touched with her exuberance for life.  Disney, Golf, Buffalo Bills, and LWR to name a few.   Cindy made a difference in so many lives.  We cherish our memories together.  Praying the legacy of love she left in this world will give you strength and comfort you in God's Grace.

With our deepest sympathy,
Scott, Tracy, Hayley, Lauren and Shannon Belote
