I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy and I chatted often on Facebook, or on the phone. In fact just seeing a Facebook post she just recently put in about being in the hospital. I had no idea that her health deteriorated that far. I'm at a loss for words to describe my feelings. I'll never forget she called and talked to me when she and John had reconnected from high school and I was so happy for her. John, I hope you can spend some time thinking of the great happiness that you finally gave to Cindy. She really needed you at that time in her life to make her feel special and loved, and I was so happy for her. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I will be saying prayers for you and the family.
