We have been honored to be some of Cindy, Brandon and Aaron’s travel companions since 2014. We met them shortly before she had her mastectomy. Never have we known a more determined, courageous and strong woman. Cindy was often our moral compass. Her kindness, thoughtfulness and compassion toward others was always her guiding force. Our hearts are broken that we lost her way too soon but feel blessed to have had her in our lives for the short time we did. She has truly made a lasting impact on us. We love you Aaron and Brandon and are here for you.

So sorry to hear of Cindy’s passing she was a very sweet lady. I waited on her when she came into Belk’s to shop in the ladies dept. She was married to my cousin & I always considered her as a cousin also. We would talk about all the family memories. Although it’s tough losing Cindy she is not suffering now I know what it like to lose your soul mate. Prayers for you & Brandon just trust in the Lord.

Some people appear in your life when you need them most. They love you and lift you up reminding you of the best, even when you’re going through the worst. These people are not just friends. They are earth angels. Cindy was that person for me. Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you until we meet again.

We met Cindy & Aaron several years ago, through mutual friends. I never knew her not to have a smile on her face, except when we got to talking about homeless or mistreated animals. It was clear that that was something close to her heart. Our prayers to Aaron & Brandon for peace & comfort during this difficult time. Donna & Carl Sexton
