Cindy & I had been friend for 50 years. I remember the day we met just like it was yesterday. We were always at each others house playing. Not only was Cindy & I friends but our parents were friends also. I have so many great memories of us growing up together. I will miss Cindy, she was always there if I ever needed her. Heaven is sweeter now that she is there. Till we meet again.

Cindy was my childhood friend! We lived close to each other and spent lots of time playing in our neighborhood together. I loved her and her parents. They were always so nice to me. When I see pics of Holly it’s like looking straight into Cindy’s eyes! I know she was so very proud of her. I’m thankful for all my childhood memories with Cindy. Heaven is even brighter today because of her. God Bless her family.

My husband and I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Cindy, Greg and Holly when we went to Liberty to pick up Jenna. I only wish I could have gotten to know Cindy better. I enjoyed the time we were able to visit. Holly is such a blessing to our daughter Jenna. Cindy is smiling down on her for sure. Greg and Holly, you’ll be in our thoughts and prayers. Praying that God will overwhelm you with the peace and comfort that only He can give, feeling His presence ever so close. So thankful that God provided a way for Jenna to be there with you.
