Cindy's legacy will live on through her family and her students. A teacher has no way of knowing where their influence ends. A life well lived and taken too soon. Condolences to Robert and his kids and all of Cindy's friends and family. May you continue to pool your strengths at this difficult time, and recall how much she meant to so many people.

Cindy came to Andrew High School twice a week for many years, where I regularly saw her meeting with students in the library. We had some great conversations--especially about central Illinois, where we both came from. I miss seeing her walk in here with her rolling bag and no-nonsense attitude and stopping to chat. May you know she touched so many lives and may happy memories get you through this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to you all! I was so shocked to hear of the passing of Cindy. I work in one of the schools she serviced and when she was here to see the students or needed my assistance I would chat with her for a few minutes. The last time I saw her was a few weeks ago and she was telling me about a procedure that was scheduled. What a kind, caring and lovely lady. We spoke of family often as I have a medically challenged granddaughter. She spoke so highly and with love for her family. Please know you will be in my prayers over the coming days and know that she made a difference in the lives she touched. Wishing you peace - she will be missed!
