Just thought I'd share some of the wonderful messages I've received about Cindy's life and passing. These "missives" are just a few of the many, many I've received, read, re-read and keep near for my end of day moments when I just want to steep myself in her.

Wow! The outpouring from you has been incredible and I want to savor every iota. I mentioned in another post that words matter. We need not dismiss our words are "mere."[...]
This eulogy by me (Glenn Trevisan( is the seventh of seven messages offered at Cindy's funeral on April 12. I met Cindy in the fall of 1976, started dating her in the fall of 1977, married her in February 1979 and was with her when she passed from this life on April 8. I love her massively and miss her enormously.[...]
This eulogy by Julie Button is the sixth of seven messages offered at Cindy's funeral on April 12. Julie represents a group of women in Cindy's life fondly known by Glenn and his brothers as the "Siss-siss-siss-Sisters!" These are principally Glenn's five sisters (In order by age: Lori, Cherie, Jan, Julie and Lisa). Julie and Cindy enjoyed a close, "sisterly" relationship as did Julie's husband, Rich with Glenn. (P.S. the Trevisan boys are: Glenn, Neil, Paul, Roger (d. 2014) and Daniel.)

This rendition of "First Day in Heaven" was shared with me this morning by my dear friend and former colleague Colleen Rapson. Truly fitting as we returned Cindy to the ground yesterday. Close family held hands in a circle around the mound of dirt covering her remains. We prayed, sang a verse of "This Little Light of Mine" and closed reciting the Lord's Prayer together. Afterwards, we went out for breakfast and to begin to figure out how to resume life here without Cindy. But we have each other and the Lord to bind us together and carry us all home.[...]
