Her gentle spirit, warmth, and unwavering devotion to those she loved will be remembered and dearly missed by all who knew her.

To Cindy’s family.
We were all so blessed to know and love her. She put everyone she loved above herself.
She is now one of God’s special angels. I will miss you my dearest friend.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Cindy had a kind heart and was like family to my mother, sister and I. She will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. I have great memories at the Lama household with Emma and Cindy and Janice. They were all so kind and caring toward others. May we all remember the good times we had with these girls and cherish them.
My godmother filled my life with support, love, laughter, and positivity. I will always remember our fun outings and her thoughtful treats—like lobster rolls! Gone too soon at 63, she will always be in my heart.
Cindy was a genuine soul, sweet, concerned with others, a good friend at work selling furniture at Cardi’s, always respectful . She will be missed.
