Cindy,
When I think of your mother, I think of a picture i took when you and I were teenagers . Linda was pretty annoyed with me when I took a picture of her while she was treating her face to a green mask of goo. And, yet, that moment is the one captured in my mind. It reminds me of her energy, lively spirit and laugh.
Funny the things that we remember. I hope that many good memories fill your mind -- bringing joy and comfort to you and your family.
With love,
Donna
Cindy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. When I remember your mom I smile because of all the fond memories of the summers we spent on the ball field together! Prayers.
Al and Family,
What fun Linda and I had growing up together, singing and sharing secrets, "ironing our hair" to make it strait. Time and life took us in different directions but the good memories are still there.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
