Ray, Nicole and family,

it was heartfelt watching Nicole talk about her mother at the funeral service. Cyndi would be soo proud of her family and what they conveyed of her.  She was loved by me and all her friends.  May our friend Cyndi Rest In Peace.

Cyndi and I knew each other, but when I joined our reunion committee we became friends. She came to stay with my hubby and me a couple of times when she came to town for meetings and we got to hang out for the better part of a week each time. It was such a special time as we got to know each other really well I realized how much I missed by not always being friends. I feel like I know Ray and her kids and grandkids through all of our conversations. She loved and cherished her family. I know she will be missed. 

Dear Cyndi's family, I knew your mom at VHHS.  Your mom and I were friends and attended the medical training class.  She was very kind and sweet in high school.  We recently connected on FB, but never got a chance to meet up in Seattle.  We once tried, with Kathy Teachenor, but Covid hit and then I had breast cancer and could not make it.  I am heartbroken for you all and for not having connected in person!   Please accept my condolences.  Mary Escobar Wahl

While I never met Cyndi, I've heard nothing but wonderful things about how amazing she was as a mom and a grandma. My deepest condolences to Niccole, Hailey, Emmy and Callie on your loss!

I've been friends with Cyndi for over 30 years. She was my young women's leader when I was a teenager,  and she also employed me at her store in Sumner. During a difficult time in my life, when I felt that I was invisible to everyone around me, she not only took me under her wing but made me feel like I was someone important. I was welcomed into her home, and family, with open arms. She was generous in everything-resources, laughter (she had the best laugh), her time, guidance, and especially love. Her support was pivotal in helping me become who I am today (she taught me to like myself). My fondest memories of her were of going on work road trips and discussing books. I will never forget her friendship as long as I live and I will miss her and think of her often (every time I read a book, watch a show, or hear a song she liked). I am so grateful and privileged to have known Cyndi.

One of my best friends and forever loved. 

I’m so very sorry for your loss. Cyndi was a amazing mother and grandmother. She loved her family more then anything. She was devoted to her wonderful  husband Ray. She became a close friend to me. I moved away from Washington about a year ago, but Facebook allowed us to keep in touch. I will miss her post about her family and wonderful pictures of her grandchildren . My prayers are with her family. 

Cyndi and I met when she was 16 and I was 15.  We immediately became close and had many wonderful years   We got married and raised children during our friendship.  I visited her in washing and she recently had come to visit me in Tennessee   Due to different circumstances we married a second time. She was at both of my weddings and I was at both of her weddings  We cried and laughed together. Shared everything.  She left this world with a piece of my heard. I prayed I would not lose her but god had different plans.  I’m grateful for the friendship we shared for 50 years as well as the fact they she no longer suffers.     I love you dearly Cyndi and you will and you will always be in my heart.  I cherish the memories

Cyndi and I decided we would go to Dental Assistant School after graduation. It was kinda the thing if you weren’t headed off to college. We both were anxious to start a life in the work force. We car pooled together and and complained about our instructor.  Funny that Cyndi is standing next to her, Cyndi and her didn’t see eye to eye much. I think the instructor just couldn’t deal with Cyndi’s inquisitive mind. That beautiful brain of hers held everything. I always called her my memory keeper. She had so many wonderful memories tucked away and when we would talk they just flowed out of her. I don’t know how I will remember all those things without her! She was a one of kind friend! Her whit and loyalty, her compassion and kindness mixed with her spunky and opinionated spirit will be with me always. 

Gone far too soon and far too young! Thank you for the years of friendship…..

PS Whenever I hear something by “Cher” I will always think of you.
