   Sorry I could not be with you today. I'm a bit under the weather. Cindy was a new friend but her and her family made a wonderful impact on my life.

   One of the last times we played cards she kept slipping Janice the card she needed. Janice never caught on. Cindy,s grin told the story.

   My thoughts and prayers are with you today.

   What great memories of bowling with Cindy during the 80's as team members for Elbe Enterprises. Cindy was a great bowler and we shared many good times and laughs. I can hear your laugh now Cindy. Rest in Peace my friend. Love Margie
