  4. To the family of Cindy. I was a customer of Cindy’s at Gardens to Go. She was one of the most hard working women I know. Every Spring she would make our planters look amazing. She was quite the creator of beautiful planters. Her passion was noticeable. She always guided me and directed me in the right direction when I had questions about flowers I was planting on my own. I am saddened by the news of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. She will be missed. I will always remember her knowledge, hard work and beautiful creations.
