I miss Cindy so much every day-I have reached for the phone so many times to call her just to see how her day was going. She was so easy to talk to and I almost never talked to her when she wasn't upbeat about something. Even if there were tough times (A.B., Dad and Griff's deaths and many other trials and tribulations of life) she would always say "but hey we've got so many good things to be happy about and wonderful memories so we'll focus on those." Every now and then she'd need to vent and say "give me 10 minutes" and I'd listen, then when she was through we'd talk about all the great things happening in our lives.
I count my blessings that she was my sister and I'm so very thankful that she touched so many of you because I get to keep hearing about her and her impact. My daily blessings always include Jacob, Anna and Addie because they are phenomenal people and I love them so!!
Cindy was a wonderful person, friend, coworker. We were at Lexington Elementary together in the early years of teaching...I really missed her when she left to go to Springdale, but I knew she wanted to teach there with her mom and in her neighborhood. True friend. A great testament to Cindy. She LOVED her family, friends, everybody!
ReplyDeleteWent to high school with both Cindy and Jacob, and I'm a distant cousin of you Cindy and Mike, Karen. (Lown side)I have always thought that your family was extremely special and know that Cindy touched so many lives. She taught my daughter in kindergarten and then again at U.S.C. Please know your entire family will remain in my prayers. Your blog would have made her smile and is a great tribute to a great lady! May God Bless each of you.
