Cindy...I am so very happy we were able to talk a few times before you passed. I don't know what happened or how we drifted, but I am at peace that we talked. We had lots of fun times together...grandma always bought us the same outfits, just different colors. I was so mad when you got the purple velvet jumper and blouse and I got the blue one....purple was my favorite color. Or the jewelry box with the ballerina twirling in it, with a gold initaled necklace in it...I know you still had yours, as I did mine. I remember that you were in love with Stan Mikita, the Chicago Blackhawks player way back in the early '70's. ...I was in love with David Cassidy! I rememeber the late night Christmas Eves when we fell asleep together in the soft satiny brown chair at Grandmas. Or the day we both graduated from grammar school and we all went to Lawrence of Oregano in LIncoln Park for dinner...I will never forget Jackie sitting in the restaurant with a transistor radio in his shirt pocket, listening to the baseball game, eating shrimp...the whole shrimp including the tail!!!!!! I love you Cindy. I am sorry I didn't make it to your candle party to see you....but I am so, so, so very happy to have talked with you and heard your voice.... I will miss you...But you're with your mom and grandma....rest in peace...until we meet up again...love you,

Cousin Kimmy
