Warren,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Cindy. I know in my heart that God is sovereign and good, but I am all too aware that even that truth is not going to take away the pain or the regrets. When Lazarus died, even Jesus diodn’t have anything to say. He just cried for his friends. So just know that we are here for you and that you have lots of friends.

Mike, I am very, very, sorry for your loss. Your aunt was an awesome person, a good friend of mine for more than 20 years. She loved you a lot and talked about you and your sister all the time. I was with her for breakfast Sunday morning and she was incredibly happy. Please know that she’s in a better place right now. I am so sorry for you and your family’s grief. Maybe we will talk.

Mike, I don’t know you, but I knew your aunt, and one thing I know for sure is that she loved her family. She talked about you, and it was clear that she thought the world of you. I met Cindy at Peniel, and in recent years we’ve been in touch sporadically. Though we didn’t keep in contact well, I knew she was there. We started a yahoo discussion group together, and then she got sick and unable to participate. We did a book study together via e-mail, and I loved her deep theological insights. I think what I will miss most is the humor–she was one witty lady. She liked Mark Twain, and quoted him frequently–but she really didn’t need his help to be funny–she had a unique take on life and a way with words that made you either laugh or think–or both.
But of course you know that.
When Cindy met my husband several years ago, they connected as though they’d known each other for years. I think it was something about the humor–they’ve both got a big dose of it, though different brands. I was glad that they got along so well.

I remember talking to Cindy 2 or 3 years ago, and she told me that to motivate herself to walk, she’d bought herself a interesting variety of dice, and used them as rewards for exercising. (She motivated herself to walk by creating an imaginary dog–why not? Dogs go stir crazy if they don’t get their exercise.) I bought her some Maine-themed dice with moose and lobsters on them,
But I never got them to her.
So the dice are here in Maine with me, and Cindy’s in heaven with the Lord–I know she’s got the better deal. But I sure am going to miss her.

Cindy, my soul-sister in Christ and dear friend. Our loss is your gain I know, but your passing leaves a hole in the fabric of my life for which there is no matching patch.

Warren,

Your written memories are beautiful. It’s hard not to focus on what you didn’t say, but I know that Cindy knew how much you loved her. It doesn’t have to be said in words.
It’s never easy to say goodbye… I have never been good at it, and like you, I wish I had said more when I spoke to my Grandma Toots last. But sometimes I talk to Jesus, and ask Him to give Grandma a hug for me and tell her how much I love her and miss her. Maybe it’s cheesy, but I know He cares, and I think He does tell her.

If there’s anything I can do for you, don’t hesitate to call. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers.
