Katelyn, Our deepest sympathies for your profound loss. Your parents were wonderful people. The last time I saw your Mom she was bragging about your career and happy marriage. May God bring some measure of peace to you and your family.

My heart aches for this family so much. There are no words to express my heart felt sympathy. My prayers for all. I knew Cindy through her service at SRP. Always smiling. Just had a glow and cared about her customers. Got so close to her as we both went through the loss of our moms. She was so personable. What a wonderful person. She often would share her love for her husband and daughter. About two weeks ago she had shared another story with me and her last words were God knows best. Will never forget those words. May the family feel God close to them.

I worked with Cindy at NCNB in the 80s and though I haven't seen her in many years I never forgot that wonderful smile. She taught me a lot and we had so many great times. My thoughts are with her daughter, Katelyn, whom I remember as an infant and the rest of her family.

Had the pleasure of working with Cindy at NCNB bank in the late 80's. She and Mike were a great couple to know. Ended up working with Mike at SRS and kept up with Cindy at the Credit Union. I will miss all three of them.
