Rich, Megan, Allie and the Entire Ffamily -
It was such a shock and sense of loss when I heard of Cindy's death today and I wanted to let you know that my heart is truly saddened. I had just send Cindy an email on Monday and was concerned when I had not heard back from her by yesterday.
Cindy was the sweetest, kindest person that I have ever known and more than just a wonderful friend; she was an amazing Wife, Mother and Grandmother who loved her family so very much! Her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew her. I know that this tragedy has left you with only memories of Cindy, but I hope that those memories will bring you comfort as they do for me. I have so many wonderful memories of us growing up in Lincoln.......from birthday parties to teenage parties.........of the white house on 9th Street..........of becoming adults with families and children of our own and sharing a friendship of over 55 years.
I know how much you will miss her, but hope you can take comfort and strength from the wonderful family you had together. I know that love will get you through this difficult time.
May God bless you and your family during this time and always.
Goodbye my friend.....I know we will meet again!
