Heaven gained a truly beautiful soul. All my memories of Cindy, even from long ago in junior high school, are of the kindest friend I've ever had. What a blessing I'll always cherish to have grown up with my sweet friend Cindy. Attending church at Messiah CRC in Hudsonville and Unity Christian School, we learned to love the Lord together. At numerous sleep-overs, riding bikes to each other's houses, and practicing cheerleading in our back yard, we forged a friendship that forever blessed me with a genuine desire to care for everyone and always put others before yourself. Cindy's strength and commitment to her faith in God was steadfast, back as adventurous teens, albeit somewhat rebellious at time, and throughout her life. Not a day went by where Cindy's unwavering positivity and sheer joy in life surprised me because that's who she was, always and until her journey through those Heavenly gates. She is the rarest of friends for whom I will remain grateful all of my life. You are so loved and cherished, Cindy.
Love Your Friend,
Melody Schmidt
