Dear Keith and boys,
I was so saddened to hear the news. I can tell you That Cindy was more than a colleague. I valued her as a friend, one of the "brown bag girls" with Kathy and Karen back in the ST days. I am sorry I can not deliver my condolences in person as I am another part of the country for awhile.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.
Sincerely,
Doug Rykal

Dear Keith and boys. My heart is heavy with the news of Cindy's passing. My prayers have been and will be with you. She loved coming to stained glass class with Sandy and all the sisters who could come and there was always laughter and fun with Cindy there. She fought a great fight, but now can rest gently in Gods arms. My deepest sympathy to all.

To my dear friend Keith,
I remember our time in Key West last year and I am so happy I got to meet the woman who has been your 'rock' for years. Cindy's smile not only brightened a room, but warmed my heart. I shall continue to pray for you an your family during this time of sadness. My sincerest condolences - Nicole Carignan
