10 Dec 2011: Memorial service
Thank you for remembering Cindy today. The flowers from the band were lovely and the service was meaningful and comforting to those who were able to attend. The Military Honors presentation with the flag ceremony and the playing of Taps was very moving. On behalf of Cindy's family I thank you for your friendship and care for my cousin. Donna Keenan
