Cindy, what a good friend.  She was my neighbor in Bath for a few years.   I have so many
memories of her that I really don't know where to begin.   I have known her for years, and
thanks to Jennifer Arnold, got to be good friends with her.  The three of us had all kinds of
adventures together.  Sneaking out in the middle of the night, parties, talking for hours about
guys.  I never could understand  how someone could be so smart.  She did not have to study
and she still got "A'S", when I had to study for three hours for a "B".  She knew everything
about anything.  I always would say to my mom,  "Cindy is so smart."  Cindy could always
make me laugh.  She came to my son's four year birthday party.  We went outside for a
cigarette  and she discovered a dead mouse  in the yard.  We (Jenny, Cindy, Steph) then went
back into the house and laughed at the goofy clown I hired for the party.  She was picked to be
the timekeeper for a game they were playing.  That was in April of 2001, but it feels like
yesterday.  I was sad to see her leave that day.  The past few years I did not see her as much
due to work, husband, kids, and college and I regret that.  I would do anything to hear her laugh
again!!!  My son Justin who is nine, remembers her playing with him, particulary the "Bunny
Rabbit Game."  She hopped around on the floor with him.  God, please take care of her and one
day we will see her again in heaven.  I love you Cindy, and will miss you deeply!!!!

Whenever she'd talk on the phone to her friends about Tracey, I'd always say "are you talking
to me?"  When she didn't answer, I'd realize it was her best friend Tracey she'd been talking
about not me, Traci her co worker.

Cindy, sweet Cindy, drove her replacement Becca crazy for months after she left.  "The piles
of papers", Becca would say, "How did she know what was what?"  I'd tell Becca that she just
did, she just did.   

CIndy is smiling her big beautiful smile on all of us now, picking through her piles of papers
one by one.  Time is what she has now.  And our prayers.
