  1. What a loss for us all! My memories a Cindy all through school are very happy ones. She probably never realized how much she was admired, not only for her brains but also for her sunny spirit, infectious laugh, and loyal friendship. I thank God that we have the hope of one day being reunited with her. May Christ give you all the peace that passes understanding during this sad time.

  2. Don, our hearts are heavy for your loss. What a great support you have been. Robert told us that you and Cindy got that plane ride! And he also said “what a great lady”. Will miss seeing the two of you walking the Island. Your Timon’s family is here for you.

  3. Don we will all miss Cindy. And will keep you both in our prayers. Call upon any of us for anything we can do for you. from your friends as SS7

  4. My love for Cindy grew and grew with every moment I spent with her. She was witty, kind and knew how to entertain a small group of people with her quick, one liners. Cindy was giving and loving with her time. Always silent with her kind touch to my shoulder. I knew what she was thinking, because I knew she understood me. I will miss Cindy, more and more each day. I will look for her smile when someone cracks me up. I will miss her concern for me when I am sad. Heaven got a good girl. I hope she kites surfs in heaven, jumping to the stars.

    I love you Don. You always have a soft place to land. Let me know how I can be of service to you.

    Love,

    Leah South Brown

  8. Wow! So sudden!! I loved Cindy and will truly miss her. Her smile was very contagious and spoke very rarely. When she did speak…her words were so beautiful and kind and caring. Prayers to her husband…he must feel an emptiness only God can fill. Her suffering is over now and she is dancing in heaven…saving a place for all her friends.

  9. Don and family,

    My sympathy for your great loss. Cindy was one of the most courageous women I have ever met. I was privileged to share a friendship with her over the past 5 years and always admired her keen witt, intense practicality and deep concern for others. Her life was too short and I will really miss her. My prayers are with you all.
