I am so sorry to hear of Cindy. She was a lovely person with a big heart. I have so many fond memories of her growing up from softball as little kids all the way up to high school, and of course on the playground at school. My heart breaks for you Rick, Vicky, Stacy, and Krista.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Cindy was a wonderful individual. She excelled at teaching, & helped so many nurses gain incredible insight to pediatric nursing. St John’s was fortunate to have her as an educator. I know her church & family were very important to her. It was a privilege to know Cindy. We all are better for having know her. Gods’ Peace be with you.

Brian and family,
Cindy was an excellent nurse and even better nursing professor! She was funny, smart, creative, and articulate. The students she taught were very lucky to have known her as she communicated extensive knowledge and critical reasoning skills. No more pain and suffering. Cindy’s spirit will live on in the memories of those of us who loved her. May God grant you peace and tranquility.

Brian and family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy had quite a wonderful and amiable personality. This is a loss for everyone who has had the privilege to encounter her friendly, warm, and smart nature. I will hold on to the memories we shared at St John’s College of Nursing. Cindy was an exceptional Tutor and mentor. May she rest in the bossom of the Lord.
