It's not very often we are blessed by having such giving, loyal friends with a heart as big as Cyndi's. Although I'm overwhelmingly saddened by her passing, I am thankful that I had the opportunity to become such good friends with Cyndi and see that the world does have such good hearted people in it still. God bless.

I am so sorry for your loss. The scriptures point to a time in the near future when God will rescue those who have died from the grave.
From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave? Compassion will be concealed from my eyes. (Hosea 13:14)
God will bring those who have died back to life, and he will destroy death. No more will we deal with the stings of death. Rather, all living will have the prospect of living forever in paradise on earth. May this hope for the future comfort your grieving hearts.

We are so sorry for your loss. I hope you take comfort in knowing that words, no matter how kind, cannot describe the huge heart she had. She was a dear friend to many and will be deeply missed. I hope shes loved in heaven as much as she was loved here.

Deepest sympathy to her son Chad and Diane, Pam and Sheri and all those who loved her. She was a lovely mix of child and woman. Remembering always her summer visits to southern Illinois with her mother and Pam and then with Sheri, too. May she rest in peace and skip through the heavens in pure and easy joy. Love Aunt Cheryl
