Dear Bob, Pam, and Chris,
It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years since sweet beautiful Cindy was taken from this Earth. We know even the passing of time does not make your pain and suffering of this loss any easier to endure! Cindy--please know that you are so loved and so missed and will never be forgotten! Keep showering your Mom & Dad Chris, Kate, Tyler and Avery with love and blessings from heaven, and ask God to watch over and care for them especially in times of need. You are their special Angel Dear Cindy, and please keep giving them signs of your presence! Our special prayers and thoughts are with you Bob, Pam and Chris.

Hi Cindy-
Words can't even begin to express how much we all miss you, especially me. I was reading the last e-mail you sent me back in 2004 just the other day. It's unreal to think that today marks your 20th Anniversary, it feels like yesterday. As my buddy Mr. Balgro told me this morning, holes in our hearts never heal. We just learn to live with them. I miss you so much, but I know you are smiling down on all of us from heaven above. I love you Sugie! Always in my heart.
Love,
Bro

Dear Cindy, twenty long years without you! My heart aches for you every day! There isn´t a single day that I don´t think about you and wish you were here celebrating like with us. Ty and Avery would have loved you so very much as they continue to get older! We got to see Jill this year in Barcelona with her family! Oh how she still thinks about you and the last trip you took with her to Mexico. Dad and I want you to pray for each of us as we are going thru life now in our seventies. I will always love you forever! Love mom

Dear Cindy, today marks the 20th year you went to eternity. It is so difficult each day to go thru missing you so much! I wanted to share special memories with you! Please keep sending those pennies as. a sign that you´re ok. I will never stop talking to you every day in my prayers etc. I´m sure you are using your talents as a surgical nurse in paradiseI will never stop thinking about you as your mom I love so much!!

Dear Cindy,
This year marks the 20th anniversary of your passing. Anniversaries are supposed to be happy occasions but there is nothing happy about this one, nothing. We try to carry on and sometimes put on a happy face if the occasion merits it, but how can we be really happy. My thoughts always come back to how you should be part of what´s happening today. You were here one day, happy to be going to a party to celebrate your 21st birthday and suddenly gone the next. It is difficult if not impossible to describe how much we miss you. Why, why, are you not with us ? As I´ve said many times there´s not a day, maybe even an hour that I don´t think about you. I look up in the sky and know you are safely in heaven in God´s hands. Please pray for us as we know we will be reunited someday. I love you and miss you so much.
Love, Dad

November 7, 2023

Dear Cindy, I can´t believe 19 years has passed without you. Pray and miss you every day. Dad and I are both in our seventies and want to see our grandchildren grow up first before we see you. Avery looks a lot like you and she now ten. Tyler is 14 and truly works hard at his sports. He´s taller than me now! I wish you were here to see how precious they are and missed the chance to see you. Your brother misses you more than you could imagine! You hold a special heart forever with him. Kate also misses you too as not to have a sister-in-law. Cindy I know you will help dad and I as we age and someday we will be with you! Love mom

Carolyn

November 7, 2023

Dear Cindy,

I'm always thinking about you this time of year and I can't believe it's been 19 years. Now, of course, around the anniversary of your passing, but it usually starts around your birthday. I always think about how old you'd be and picture what you'd be doing if you were still here. I pray to you often and always hope that you watch over all of us, but especially your brother and parents. We love you and miss you! Love, Carolyn

Chris (Big Brother)

November 6, 2023

Hi Cindy-
It's unbelievable to think that tomorrow is 19 years since you left us and went to heaven. It's hard to think what life would be like if you were still here with us today. I wish I would have joined you and your friends that night in Chicago because I would have made sure that you got home safely. I miss you so much and think about you all the time. Our entire family misses you so much, it's so hard. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe. We love you so much, you were the best sister that a brother could ever ask for. I love you!!!!

Dear Pam, Bob, Chris, and family,
Ed and I will never forget the day we all lost Cindy. It is still surreal that this happened to your beautiful daughter and sister.
We remember that Cindy´s smile would light up a room!
She was beautiful inside and out.
She will always be in our hearts and our prayers, as will all of you.
May God Bless Cindy and all of you.
With Love,
Barb and Ed Wysocki

Dear Cindy,
It´s Sunday afternoon and I have the football game on but my thoughts are really not on the game but more and more on you. I see the many pictures we have of you as well as the fact that the anniversary of your death draws closer and closer, this Tuesday November 7th. Why did God call you home at such an early age. I know I´ll never truly answer the question. Please know that we as a family miss you dearly. Looking at these pictures I try to visualize how you´d look today, still beautiful. Please know that I pray for you often, if not daily. I know you are our guardian angel in heaven and keep constant watch over our family. Thank you for especially keeping an eye out for me this past week. Oh, how I miss you.
Love,
Dad

Chris

November 8, 2022

Hi Sis-

It´s hard to even imagine that we lost our precious angel 18 years ago. As Ty and Avery get older, I struggle knowing that they never had a chance to meet you. All I tell them is that you were the best sister that a brother could have ever had. Keep watching over us from heaven, your presence is felt each and every day. I miss you so much and I want you to know how much I love you. Love you Sugie!

Maureen Collins

Dearest Cindy,
Today is a sad day indeed, even though it has been 18 years since you left this Earth. However, please know you are not forgotten. We will always remember your sweet smile and darling personality. We know you are a Special Angel up in heaven, who watches over your wonderful parents, your dear brother and sister-in-law, and your adorable niece and nephew! Your niece reminds us of YOU every time we see her!! We know you are watching over your precious family here on Earth, and sending them special blessings. We are saying special prayers, and sending love and hugs for your family today. Love, Jerry & Maureen Collins

Pamela Cebrzynski

November 7, 2022

Dearest Cindy, I can´t believe it´s 18 years since we lost you. There isn´t a day that goes by that I think of you and wish you were here in our family! Your nephew Ty not only is smart, but an athlete! We´re so proud of him!!Avery resembles you so much as everyone has told me and is also very pretty, athletic, and smart! Dad and I are getting older and can´t wait to see you someday in heaven. My love for you will never stop. Give your brother some hugs as he is suffering too. Kate misses you too!

Bob Cebrzynski

November 7, 2022

Dear Cindy,
This morning marks 18 years you are gone. While that may seem like a long time, to us, your family, it´s like it happened only moments ago. It was today,18 years ago, that we learned that you had passed away in a terrible auto crash. Each and every memory of that morning and day lingers in my memory so vividly. Arriving at the hospital to learn that you had died on the scene of the crash was and still is a shock. I wish I could go back 18 years and one day to hold you in my arms again. You are a very precious daughter to mom and me and brother Chris. There has not been a day since you left us that we do not think about you and what could have been. I know your niece Avery and nephew Tyler wish they could have met you.
Cindy, please know that we are sending our love and prayers for you. We all, family and friends, miss you so, so much.
Love you,
Dad

Dear Cindy,
It is never easy to go thru a day and not think about you. I try to remember all the happy times we shared in your life. I will continue to share any moments of your life with others especially with my grandchildren as they are growing up. I know you share eternity now with many special members of our family now . Please continue to watch over our family here and know that our love for you will never end!love, mom

Bob Cebrzynski

November 7, 2021

Dear Cindy,
Another year passes and the hurt still pounds in my heart. Daily I think of what life would be if you were still here with us. Maybe a nurse, maybe a pharmacist, who knows what path you would have chosen. Cindy, only God knows how much I miss you but also know you are safe in His arms. Please pray for all of us, especially your nephew and niece as they grow up only knowing you from memories we share about their aunt Cindy.
Love,
Dad

Dear Pam and Bob,
We were with you seventeen years ago the night Cindy tragically lost her life and went to eternal life in heaven. Though we don´t know the depth of emotion of losing a child, we do know the heartbreak of losing a member of our friendship circle. We have many memories of Cindy growing up and sharing family times and vacations with us. Her picture always hangs in our guest room in Florida. We are glad to be with you this week in friendship and support. We grieve for the lost memories we could have shared with Cindy, but treasure those we have. We know that Cindy is always watching over your family and smiling down from heaven.

Dear Cindy-

I know you already know this, but I miss you so much. I can’t believe that it’s been 16 years since you were called to heaven. I think about you everyday and I know that you love all of us. Tyler and Avery ask about you and I tell them that Aunt Cindy was an amazing sister. I love you “Sugie”.

Dear Cindy,

I can’t believe it’s been sixteen years today since you left us so suddenly. I know you are in paradise with God and the rest of our family. It’s so hard to be without you each and every day and year. It’s so hard on our family and someday we will be together again in paradise . Please continue to watch over dad and I as we continue to get older. Cindy my memories of you are endless! You are so beautiful and I miss you!!! ❤love, mom

Hi Cindy, It’s 16 years ago today that you passed away. 16 years would seem like a long time but for me it’s like it happened yesterday. No day ever was that tragic. You were a young adult who had recently turned 21 with a full life ahead of you. Our life is blessed with many beautiful memories of you from growing up, school, music, sports etc. Please know, and I know you do, that we miss you dearly and long for the time we will be together again. May God bless you.
Love,
Dad

Dear Cindy,
It is so hard to believe that 16 years have gone by. We will always remember your sweet smile and the good times we all shared together as families when you were growing up. Those memories will be etched in our hearts forever. Please know that you Pam and Bob will always be in our hearts too. All our love and prayers, friends forever, Carol and Bob.

Cindy, it is hard to believe that you went to heaven 16 years ago. We hold dear memories shared with you and your family. We spent many vacations together. One such time was Thanksgiving in Florida. We enjoyed boating and swimming and our favorite picture of you is sitting in a boat cruising the Gulf. Your mom and dad have that picture in Estero in their condo. Pictures are reminders of you, but our thoughts and prayers for you are always held dear in our hearts.

November 7, 2019

Dear Cindy,
It is hard to believe you have been gone for 15 years. We all miss you so very much; your beautiful smile, your caring sweet personality, and everything that made YOU so very special. We know you are an angel in heaven, and looking down from above on your wonderful parents, brother, sister-in-law, and your adorable niece and nephew. Please continue to send them blessings and help them in their life journey, until one day they will join you in heaven. We all keep you in our hearts each and every day.
Love and Hugs, The Collins Family

Dear Cindy,

I miss you more today than yesterday each and every day! Fifteen years and it seems like yesterday. I can only imagine how eternity must be and seeing everyone each and every day with you!! Tyler and Avery hear about you as often as I can mention your name . They would love you to pieces!! Please continue to help dad and I thru our health issues and I know you will do your best!! Cindy, I love you and miss you so much !! Please keep sending me those pennies from heaven. Love, mom. ❤

November 5, 2019

Hi Cindy,
This coming Thursday marks fifteen years since youve been gone. We miss you as much today as the day you died, if not more so. There hasnt been a day or probably an hour in the last fifteen years that I havent thought about you. Miss you so much. We all do. You would have loved Ty and Avery. They ask a lot about you when they see your picture. Please keep guiding us down here. We need your help. God, I miss you.
Love,
Dad

Happy 29th Birthday! We continue to miss you more each day! I know you are in eternity and a part of our lives. Thank you for sending me those pennies..We love you! love, mom 10/18/12

March 10, 2011

Dear Cindy,
We are down here in Florida and although it is nice, there is always something missing, namely, having you with us down here. We have your pictures in many places down here and see you all the time. I know you would have really had a great time down here. Swimming is right across the street, tennis is just down the street and golf is just outside our door. I still feel a void that I never took you golfing. Knowing how good you were at other sports, I know you would be beating me by now.
Please continue to look after the family as I know you are doing. Your little nephew knows your picture and name. He picks up your picture at our house, says "Cindy" and gives it a kiss. I know you would have loved him dearly.
We all miss you immensely and look forward to the day that we will all be reunited. Please pray for us.
Love,
Dad

It's been a while since I've written you. I think of you every day and miss you more and more as time goes on. I hope that you like your "memorial" brick at Wrigley Field and there will also be one at our church in Florida. There is a Memorial Wall there also. I know that Chris and dad miss you at their birthday celebrations this week and last week. Also the walk at Benedictine was so awesome!! Everyone came and walked for you!!! I love you!!! Mom

Just letting you know that I am thinking about you and your family as I do all the time. A couple of us were actually trying to plan a 10 yr St. Mary's reunion. It is hard to believe that we have been out of ST. Mary's that long. Yet it feels like yesterday that we had our first reunion at the park and then back to Wysocki's. It feels like yesterday. Three years have gone by and yet not a day goes by that I am not thinking about you and your family.

Two years have gone by and there has not been a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I know that everyone from st. mary's had there falling outs going to highschool and college, but I knew where to find you. I can still remember all of our conversations that we would have when I would pick up my perscriptions. I remember when you gave me my vitamins when I found out I was pregnant, that was our little secret. You were one of the first ones to know. I just want you to know that we are all thinking of you and miss you.

October 19, 2006

Dear Cindy,
We went out last night as a family to celebrate your birthday. On the table we had 2 pictures of you, one by yourself and one with the cousins. Everyone said a thought or moment they remembered about you. I can tell from everyone's stories that you are on the minds of everyone everyday. Any moment that I have that I am not doing something, my thoughts are about you. It's very hard to believe that's its been already two years since you and I went out on the night you turned 21 to celebrate your birthday at midnight. That is one day I will never forget and I thank mom for encouraging me to go out with you. Who knew at that time that shortly afterwards God would be calling you home. Two years without you seems like an eternity sometimes but we do know that we are now also 2 years closer to being with you again. Please continue to watch over all of us as you are our guardian angel in heaven and give me the strength to carry on in your memory. Cindy, we all miss you very, very much.
Love,
Dad

Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. Right before thanksgiving we had a turkeybowl at the wysockis and all I could do is think about the what ifs. But I do know that everyone misses you and they all still think about you and Missy all the time. You are our family and that is how it will always be. ST.Mary's gave us many brothers and sisters and that is how we will all be forever. And you have left a lasting impression on us all and we truly miss you and think about you all the time. I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you.

It's going to be a year in a few days since you have left us physically, but you are still in our thoughts. I think about you daily and wish you could be here with us. I miss you very much. I miss the days we went to get lunch at Chipotle and the days we played bowling on the internet at school. I also wanted to say happy be-lated birthday to you as well. Jamie's birthday and mine are coming up soon, we will be sure to order an extra lemon drop just for you. We miss you so much. We love you.

Dear Cindy,



I can't believe your 22nd birthday was just the other day. I'm glad I was able to come visit you at the cemetary. As I was driving in the car on my way to see you, the new Kenny Chesney song came on the radio. It's his newest hit "Who'd You Be Today" that comes out next month. The lyrics are amazing because they resemble the thoughts we have since you passed away. Anyways, I just want to say that I miss you dearly and I love you very much.

Love always,

Brother

Cindy,

It’s been a while since I talked to you even if I think of you everyday. Every morning I wake up and get ready for work. I see you everyday as I look at the picture of you from your brother’s wedding. You look so beautiful. I miss you! We all miss you! The smile on your face brings a smile to mine. I think of how much fun you were having and how much fun we had together bowling and hanging out. I don’t think things could have been better while we bowled. Those were the days that I think about all the time. I think about how things could have been different but I wouldn’t change a thing about them, except that we would have kept things closer after high school. You are a great friend, keep watch over all of us and set us straight when we loose track of things. We all miss you and love you. Every time I think of you I smile. I miss you and love you. I’ll talk to you soon!

Dear Cindy,

You are gone physically but present in our thoughts now more than ever. This past Sunday was Father's Day and you were in my thoughts all day long as you are every day. Chris and Kate took us golfing and we felt that you were riding in our golf cart. This evening we will be going to the cemetery to spend some time even a little closer with you. I know you are listening to us whenever we talk to you because we encounter signs of your presence among us. We all miss you dearly and wish you were still here. Our lives have changed but we have faith that one day we will all be reunited again. Please watch over us. You are our angel in heaven.

Love,

Dad

PS. Every time a see a rabbit in our yard it reminds me of you and your pet rabbits you loved so much. I believe the rabbits in our yard are another sign of you presence. I miss you.

I can't help but to smile now whenever I think about you... Jennifer's message put tears in my eyes but also a huge smile on my face. My memories of our friendship are endless Cindy Lou. From Cubs games to random trips to ISU and the Ryan house. I'm thankful we caught a lot of those memories on tape and film. I miss you and I think about you all the time...

Cindy, I still can't believe that you are gone. There is a beautiful bench and tree dedicated to you at your school. Everyday I think about you and the time that we spent together. When carrie, you and i went driving down ogden so far it took forever to get home. That is the night you spit out the window and it came back in on the ceiling right above my head. The great times that we had at bowling everyday. I have to say that if it wasn't for you i would have never stayed. My senior year when you weren't there is was hard, i hardly ever went to practice. I love talking with your mom, i love your family just like you. I feel like i'm part of your family. I hope to take your mom shopping for some pink lipstick soon. I miss you and think of you everyday and i won't ever stop. We all miss you and Love you

Dear Cindy,



I can't believe tht you will be gone almost four months.....There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you often. I know that you're watching dad and I and Kate and Chris from Heaven. We love you and will always feel the void in our lives forever!! We miss you so much!!!

I can not believe that it has been almost 3 months since the accident. Everyday I know that my friends and I talk about Cindy and all the good memories that we have of her. At times I feel like it is a horrible nightmare and when I wake up Cindy and Missy both will be back to their normal selves. I know that is not the case, but I do believe that they are up there playing softball and making fun of my dad and all the other coaches, that is what we did all the time. I miss you and I just want the family to know that everyone from St. Mary's holds you in their prayers.

Dear Pam and Bob,

We continue to think and pray for you daily. We know that the loss of Cindy grows each day, especially through the holidays. We treasure many memories of past Christmas and New Years spent together. Although we will not be together this New Year's we will be missing you and remembering the times we shared together on New Year's Eve with our families.

Love,

Gail and Ray

The Cebrzynski Family,



Many things happen in life that we cannot understand or explain. Just know that now you have a beautiful angel looking over you from above. May God always be with you and help you get through this difficult time. Never forget the many wonderful years that you have spent with Cindy and always treasure the memories. This is a little poem that has helped me through life's difficult journey of dealing with the loss of a loved one.



When Tomorrow Starts Without Me



When tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me;



I wish so much you wouldn't cry

The way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

We didn't get to say.



I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too;



But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name,And took me by the hand,



And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind

All those I dearly love.



But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye

For all my life, I'd always thought,

I didn't want to die.



I had so much to live for,

So much left yet to do,

It almost seemed impossible

That I was leaving you.



I thought of all the yesterdays,

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

And all the fun we had.



If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you

And maybe see you smile.



But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

Would take the place of me.



And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.



But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,

From His great golden throne,



He said, "This is eternity,

And all I've promised you.

Today your life on earth is past,

But here life starts anew.



I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last,

And since each day's the same way

There's no longing for the past.



You have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Though there were times you did some things

You knew you shouldn't do.



But you have been forgiven

And now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand

And share my life with me?"



So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart.

Dear Cebrzynski family,

Cindy was one of my closest friends at Benedictine. I am so thankful to God for placing her in my life. I miss her more than words can say. It's been very difficult to attend classes knowing that she is no longer there, but God is giving me strength for each day. I pray that the peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds during this time. I want you to know that I am upholding your family in my prayers. Here is a song that has really been comforting me. I wanted to share it with you....



"Dancing With The Angels"

From the album Monk & Neagle



Memories surround me

But sadness has found me

I’d do anything for more time

Never before has someone meant more

And I can’t get you out of my mind

There is so much that I don’t understand

But I know



Chorus:

You’re dancing with the angels

Walking in new life

You’re dancing with the angels

Heaven fills your eyes

Now that you’re dancing with the angels



You had love for your family

Love for all people

Love for the Father, and Son

Your heart will be heard

In your unspoken words

Through generations to come

There is so much that I don’t understand

But I know



Bridge:

We’re only here for such a short time

So I’m gonna stand up

Shout out

And sing Hallelujah

One day I’ll see you again

Slowly blooming into a wonderous blossom of Gods'. And when he saw her beauty, he knew she was needed in his Heavenly garden.



May all of those who have left our families already, and who have welcomed her home, wrap you in their eternal love to help you in this time.



We hold you all in our prays. May the Lord's peace be with you.

Dear Cebrzynski family

Today, and the 5 days that preceeded it, are a parents worst nightmare and a brothers life changing event. Cindy was laid to rest, and yes she is in a better place, but here we all ask why and will miss her eternally. Her short life has not been in vain, as she has touched so many people that she will never meet or know by her early passing. She has forever left her mark by this devestating accident. Her massage to all is so clear, for she left this life so that others might not meet her tragic fate. Please, take comfort in knowing, your loss and pain are being lifted up to the Lord by so many voices so he can ease it and you can feel him embracing your beautiful child in the same arms that now hold you.

With love and prayers

Dear Pam and Bob,

When my father told me the news he was devastated. Tears formed quickly as he explained what he knew from TV news accounts and family phone calls. As he gets older and his family continues to get smaller I think we all realize just how unsure and sometimes how unfair this world really is. The only sense any of it makes is that it makes NO sense. Rest quietly in the knowledge that Cindy knew her Lord and Savior. Be assured of Jesus' own promise to the thief hanging with Him - "Today thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." Know that she will never again feel pain or sorrow. As difficult as it is, rejoice in the Lord always, and trust that He has a Divine plan that makes no sense to us now, but one that has come to fruition in this time and in this place and one that will challenge you to remain faithful to His ultimate glory.

My prayers have and will continue to include you and the family. Lean on your love for each other, but more importantly, lean on the Master. He is there for you everytime you call on Him.

In Earthly Sorrow, but in Christian heavenly joy,



Chuck

I am so deeply sorry to hear about Cindy. I played volleyball and softball with her, and had many classes with her throughout high school. I was completely shocked when I heard the news. She was a wonderful person who was always happy and made those around her smile. My thoughts are with you all, and I will be thinking about Cindy and you in my prayers.

The Cebrzynski Family,



My thoughts and prayers are with you now and throughout this difficult time. When Megan called to tell me about the accident my only thought was of Cindy's smile and how her enthusiasm and positive attitude could touch everyone in the room. Her determination to always better herself gave hope and inspiration to all of us who were priviledged to spend time with her. I have so many memories of our high school years - those at bowling meets, going to dinner on Saturday nights, celebrating Christmas seasons and birthdays with the team - but I will always remember her for the way she gave of herself and made us all laugh and smile along with her. I will miss her and, with the rest of the Downers Grove South Bowling teams, I will work to honor her memory. Cindy, we love you.
