How do you begin to say goodbye to the brightest light you ever knew? A smile and laugh that was able to pull you out of the darkest momments in your life. the pure JOY She was to be around. a heart that held so much love for her FAMILY and FRIENDS. TWO SISTERSthat loved beyound all. niether could do wrong in each others eyes. Oh my goodness,and Being a Mother was her greatest joy,I had the pleasure of being with her after Michael was born,I helped show her how to give him his first sponge bath,we cooked a meal together so when big Mike got home from work he had a dinner.My fondest memories are laughing ,laughing with MA Kerstein,Cindy,Rhonda and Myself, oops I almost forgot Ronny dancing with you puts a smile on my face.Through all of the hard times in all of your lives,you all just kept on smiling and LOVING.

What a beautiful woman! I can't believe she's gone. Her passing takes my breath away as it was only a few short months ago Cindy was effervescent and full of life.

My heart goes out to you, her dear family, losing a mother, sister, daughter, aunt is devastating and finding comfort inconceivable.

My thoughts and love are with you,
