We had the pleasure of working with Cindy at W.A. Young Elementary School. What a sweet, beautiful and talented lady. She loved her family and was so proud of her sons. Because Cindy accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior, we know that she is now in His presence. The family has not lost Cindy. Only her company for now. May God's presence surround this sweet family with peace, grace, and strength.
