Events
Cindy and I were classmates at Trinity. We quickly became close friends, and I considered her to be a dear sister-in-Christ. To Cindy: Sis, I love you and I miss you. Give Emanuel and Dee Dee my love. Until we meet again.
My deepest condolences to all of her friends and family.
Anthony and Joe, sending heartfelt condolences for your family. I remembered her Love of Family, Dedication and unending Faith. She left a lasting impression and touched the hearts of many.
‘Lil Joe & Anthony,
I’m at a loss at what to say. I’m trying to be comforted knowing she is with her mom and my Aunt Anne, but I am heartbroken. I think about and pray for you two every day, and wish I could be there for you the way your mom was always there for me and my family. Your mom was one of the best people I will ever know and I’ll carry my memories of her with me forever, as I know you will. My love and prayers to you both!
Sandra, although I met Cindy for the first time just days before she passed, I felt very sad when you told me the terrible news. During the short time I was thankfully able to spend with Cindy, she counseled, encouraged and motivated me in the work I do with those who are disadvantaged, discouraged and disengaged in my community. I can’t imagine the sense of loss you must feel having lost a twin sister for whom you cared and loved so deeply all of your life. I wish there was more that I could do but please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and the object of my prayers.
Joe and Anthony,
Our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your mom. Cindy would want you to know that she is at peace and right where she needs to be. The two of you, along with your families, were the light of her life and pride and joy. She will always be with you in the beautiful memories that you hold. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your families.
Prayers for your families! Know she is a whisper away, keep her memories alive in your heart, until you can hold her again for all eternity

“ for God, so love the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life”. John 3:16
My heart aches for those left here on earth. I’m overjoyed for her resting in the arms of her Heavenly Father as she smiles down on all of you. I’ve know Cindy for along time and we both have a strong bond in the joy of knowing Our God. We spent a visit in Florida on a girls weekend years ago. Hold on to those memories of her before this happened and let them make you smile and your heart feel full when you think of her. Loss isn’t something you get over, you just learn to live around it. May God’s arms of comfort, strength surround all of you during this time of great loss.
Joe and Anthony, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beautiful mother. Such a kind heart and beautiful person. I always enjoyed talking to her and most recently, it was st Walmart. Always had something positive to say, and she had tremendous faith.
Truly an amazing Angel! She was the spotless bride she wanted us all to become! I was truly honored to have crossed paths and have her as my friend!
She touched so many lives and worked always to bring us all closer to our Lord!
She is right where she wanted to be…All for Gods Glory! Love and miss you Cindy and Thank you for who we’re you and helping me become a much better person!❤️????
Linda, Danny, Peggy,Sandy, and Victoria– I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your sister Cindy. I recall when your family lived upstairs from us at 609 Maurus St. and I was sad to find out that your family was moving to a new home. I believe Victoria wasn’t even born yet. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. God bless all of you and rest in peace with no more pain Cindy.
