"I’ve known Cindy since grammar school days. She was always so full of life. Cindy always said exactly what she thought and I admired her for that. I was on Facebook with her on Saturday and I’m just so shocked she’s gone. Cindy was a true friend and loved by so many. She always had a kind word or a funny joke. I’m proud to call her my friend and won’t ever forget her beautiful smile. My deepest condolences to Gary and her family at this very sad time."

"My deepest condolences to Cindy's husband Gary. I've known Sue since kindergarten and Cindy was the "little sister." Sue, I can't find the words to say how sorry I am, for you and for Jen and Chris. I know they were so close to Cindy, as I'm sure all the nieces and nephews were. I'm going to miss her, my "Words with Friends" competitor. We played every day for the last 2-3 years. She won that last game. Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed."
