I have been working with Cyndi in the Special Services dept for the past few years. We shared an office for over a year and got to know one another.
Cyndi has her troubles to deal with daily. If you knew her then you know that. There were times when she was so sad and depressed that it took all she had to move. She was very quick to place blame on herself when it should not been placed. Were there hard days yes BUT....
Cyndi was loving and caring and giving. She loved to cook for us here a the office. She treated us to School cinnamon rolls too often lol. Her School Sloppy Joe's where amazing. There was nothing she ever made that was not good! When her mom passed she blessed so many people with clothes and other items.
Her passion for Broadway musicals surpassed her singing ability -- but did that stop her nope. She apologized way ahead of time and told us she can not sing but she was going to do so. Both us and our ears survived. She LOVED the TV show Survivor, Big Brother, Walking Dead and many others. The office always had to have TV talk breaks often due to many of us liking the same shows. She loved camping and was so excited about her new RV. She was so proud of that and wanted to spend as much time as possible going places with Gene. She talked about her dream to have an RV park in the Jasper area and the fun we all would have camping.
When I needed a ride to and from work she was right there everyday. Our talks in the car will be missed. She came to know my grandsons and she loved them like her own. She wanted to be kept up with what they were doing and how they were.
She loved her furry babies - oh how she talked about them all the time and the funny things they did. Goats ! oh my she talked about goats. She brought us all back goat magnets from the goat show she attended a couple years ago.i can still hear her telling us about the goat fashion show. lol
Halloween was a fun time for us here in the office and she made it that much more. She loved to dress up - once we were Crazy cats ladies, she was Paula Dean one year, but this past year ! We all were dead secretaries. Oh she had fun with that !
But her kids and grand daughters were what was #1 loves. When she told us that she was going to be a Citie you could see the joy coming from her. She was so proud of her boys and the things they were doing in their lives. She loved her daughter-in-law and her daughter in love and talked about how proud she was of them as well along with her worries for things happening in their lives. Gene her very devoted husband - several of his pictures were on her desk for her to look at every day. She talked about Gene all the time and all the things they were gonna do. I am so sad that this will not come to be as they had expected.
Were the bad days for Cyndi yes but there were so many more good ones.
Cyndi you will be missed by us all. Thanks for being a friend!
