Cindy was such a beautiful and sweet person. She always spoke highly of all her family and you could feel the love she had for all of you whenever she spoke of you. I've missed my friend for many years after the shop we worked at sold and we went our seperate ways. The time I spent working with Cindy was special and I considered her to be one of my closest friends. I'm glad I got the chance to know her
In this life and hope to see her
again in the next life. Sweet friend I love you always.

I had the pleasure of working with cindy for several years. She kept us laughing and was always first to laugh at herself. She loved a challenge and was quick to help us all with problems. It was great to see the love and dedication she had for her family. They seemed to make her whole. She was fortunate enough to know that and draw strength from being with them. We could all remember the endearing stories she would tell us about her parents, siblings, children and grands. Most of all she loved her life with Al. We will all miss her and pray for her loved ones.

Ms Cindy was one of the first ladies I had the honor of meeting when I moved to Georgia at the age of 10. I remember how sweet and kind she was and how I'd hoped that everyone in Georgia was like her. But, as I grew older, I realized that none could compare to this lady. She was definitely one of a kind. My heart is saddened for your family and your loss, however, I am grateful that she is now "home" and no longer having to endure such pain. May your days ahead get easier to deal with and your warm memories of this wonderful person fill your hearts and your minds for eternity!
