She always had a good spirt and loved Steven so much. She will be truly missed. May God bless all the family and bring them peace.
I was so shocked when I read this in the paper today. Steve you and Cindy were some of my favorite foster/adoptive parents. I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you and the family.
Stephen, I’m sorry I won’t make the service today on account of the heat & my own health issues. Just know you & the girls are in my thoughts. I pray ya’ll take comfort in the fact Cindy is now well and whole as we are all meant to be when we reach heaven. For you Stephen I offer part of the lyrics from an old Tex Ritter song “Just Beyond the Moon” which is where Cindy awaits you.
It opens with “I’ll walk just beyond the moon then I’ll stop and wait for you…” and the last verse says –
“…I’ll just sit there by a star and I’ll watch you from afar
‘Til I see you walking toward me someday soon
Then together hand in hand we’ll find our promised land
And we’ll settle down forever darlin’ just beyond the moon…”
Teresa
I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. I pray God helps and heals you along the way.
