My heart-felt sorrow goes to Cindy's boys Dennis and Christofer and her mom and sister Sandy and brother. I was saddened that I was not able to attend her services but my heart and mind was filled of wonderful thoughts about my girl Cindy who I always considered my best employee and I will miss her deeply.

I left NYK Line in 1996 but without a doubt Cindy was such a ray of sunshine. Though her job was "stressful" she always found a way to bring humor and yes joy. When she visited the Cincinnati

office or I visited Chicago we always after (okay and during work too) work managed to find time for a few good laughs. One other thing is regardless how busy Cindy was she always found time to help anyone reagrdless of what her work was like. She often spoke of her family and how much she cared for them all. Though Cindy is no longer with us she will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace dear Cindy.

Love,

Dennis

My most heartfelt condolences to Cindy's family and especially her children. The memory of her vibrance and zest for life is what is etched into my memory. It has been some time since the days of the band of which Cindy was a part but she will always be a part of very fond memories. I consider myself lucky to have known her. God Bless.

Ken, Chris, Dennis, & the Zarobsky/Knight Families. First and foremost I want to extend my deepeset condolencese to all of you. Cindy was truly an amazing & courageous woman. In the 17 years I have known her & the 8 years that I worked for her there was never a day when she didn't make me laugh or encourage me to always do better and reach for the brass ring. She was a deidicated worker, a great listener, trusted confidant and friend.



Cindy you will be missed immensenly but your spirit will live on inside us all and I will remember you for the wonderful woman that you were on earth and will be in heaven!



May you rest with the "Heavenly Angels" and enjoy everlasting peace, comfort and happiness until we meet again.



Love always,

I first met Cindy when I joined NYK Line in 1992 in Chicago. Cindy was always friendly and fun to work with. I appreciated her kindness to me. Even after I moved east, Cindy was someone I liked to see when I visited Chicago.



To her loved ones that I've met, Ken, Dennis, Kelly, and to the rest of her family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a wonderful lady who touched my life.
