I am very sorry for your loss. I only knew Cindy through emails having to do with the Arabian Riders and Breeders of Northwest Arkansas and Arabian horses. She and I agreed on a lot of things and had fun discussing them. Even though I never met her, I liked her. May she liven up the band of angels watching over you with her great sense of humor!

Gene, Jennifer, and Family.
We're shocked and saddened to her of Cindy's passing. We met Cindy and Jennifer through ARAB, 4-H and ANWARC, and enjoyed many years of showing horses together. To this day we often think of Jennifer and Cindy whenever we see or hear Jennifer's show number "444". Angel number 444 means angels are guiding and supporting the pursuit of honesty, creativity and life's goals. Cindy was the essence of 444, inspiring and supporting her family's goals. We hope you find peace, comfort and fond memories knowing she's still with you in spirit when you see or hear 444.

Gene, Jennifer and Family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Cindy's passing. Please accept our sincerest condolences; and may your sorrow be washed in sweet memories of her precious life. I was transported back in time when I saw the pictures of her when we were young. I was so pleased in later years when we were able to reconnect through Facebook. What a character she was; and I loved seeing her bright smile and all of her shenanigans. Our shared love of family, food, and especially bacon only added to our family connection. She will be missed by so many, but I know she left a sweet legacy for all who knew her.
