Cyndi was the epitome of selflessness, constantly placing the needs of others above her own needs or discomfort.

In whispers of sorrow, a life we revered, a soul taken swiftly with love yet unfurled. Gone from our sight, though memories won’t fade, a presence cherished in each tribute we’ve made. But though you’ve departed our love will remain, in hearts heavy will loss your light will sustain. Though tears may be shed we’ll find solace in time, knowing your spirit lives on in realms so sublime.
