On behalf of Cindy’s family we would like to thank you for joining us in remembering and celebrating her life.

Cindy was a kind and gentle person. Her love and devotion for her family was the center of her focus at all times. Her soft and gentle spirit will be with all of us until we rejoice with her again in heaven.

Today we all gather together to remember her life and to celebrate in her passing onto a life without pain and suffering. Her work on earth is done and her reward awaits her in Heaven.
