She won't take it well, especially after losing Marita in May. so I would love to have some answers for her, thank you. RIP Cindie, Mill & Marita back together. Thank you, you can reach me at [email protected]

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I'm so sorry for your loss and feel your pain. Cindie and I met in 5th grade at MHR and instantly became friends as we were both only children. I remember walking to the mall, going to burger king when we were suppose to be at church, roller skating, vacationing in the Adirondacks with my family and those dimples. I wish I would've connected with you when I was in Colorado Springs in May. RIP Cindie

I worked with Cindie when I was a travel nurse at Select in Colorado Springs, she made me feel right at home, so kind and sweet. I did not know she was sick until a few months ago when she sent me a message.Rest in peace my friend. May God comfort her family.

Roger, Em and Ryan, and Buddy,
I'm at a loss for words. My heart breaks for you all! After working with Cindie and both of us departing that job, we have stayed in touch. She had the most gentle personality, caring and would do anything for anyone who needed it. From our dog park visits to Halloween with all our kids to relaxing at home laughing for hours, she always cheered me up! She loved you all from the bottom of her heart! I miss her so much and have all of you in my thoughts and prayers Don't hesitate to ask for help, I'm here for you if needed!! RIP Cindie

Cindie was a kind and beautiful soul. I worked with her when I was a travel nurse at Select. She was my friend and even though I have not seen her in years through Facebook we have kept in contact. While I knew she was having health problems, I am still shocked at her death. God bless her husband, children and everyone who loves her.

Dear Roger, Emily, and Ryan,

We are so sorry to hear of Cindie's passing. She (and all of you) were so wonderful to us during our time in Colorado and we are grateful for all the fun times we spent together and the memories we have to look back upon and smile about. Cindie was truly one of the sweetest and most generous people I have ever known and her kindness to me and all of the kids (especially Brennan) helped me through a very difficult time with Elliott's deployments while we were there. Words cannot express how much she means to me and always will. Please know you are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Regina, Elliott, Brennan, Carter, and Quinn
