Happy Birthday

Happy 50th Birthday Babe.
I love you and miss you
Although the loss of you is unbearable,
I also am so very grateful for the love that you always had for me.

Deepest condolences to Cynde’s children, family and friends

I was lucky enough to happy hour with Cynde many years ago when she was just starting her law career, family and then her practice. She was one of the funniest women I have ever known. She gave the best advice and was truly an advocate for her friends. I’m sad that we lost touch as life became busy for both of us. However, I understood it and know she made all her dreams come true! My heart goes out to her children, family and friends for the loss of such a wonderful, warm, smart, quick-witted lady who loved them and her life.

Very Sad News

We are heart broken to hear that Cynde has passed. Cynde was a big help to my husband and I when we needed a legal opinion. She was so sweet and diligent in helping us make good decisions. Thank you Cynde. Our prayers go up for her entire family. RIP. The Danzl’s

Thank you

Sorry

I’m so sorry for your loss.

HCHS Class of 1992 will miss her

Yesterday, someone posted that Cynde had passed away on our high school Facebook page. It is apparent from the posts that her classmates made about her, that she was adored and loved by many. Even though some of us have not seen Cynde in over 30 years, the memories of her are precious
to many. This year, the HCHS Class of 1992 will celebrate our 30th class reunion. Cynde will definitely be remembered and not far from our thoughts as we celebrate together. We hope her children and family are lifted up during this hard time and know that we in Henderson, KY will be saying our prayers for you. Much love. “Once a Colonel, Always a Colonel.”

So Sorry

Cynde and I met at Spottsville School and I am so glad we stayed in contact with each other over the years. She was always so sweet, always had a smile. She was the same in school as well. She will be missed by so many.

Cynde was one in a million.

I worked for Cynde years ago and found her to be caring, hilarious, sweet, considerate and just lovely. I remember we would close the whole office an hour early on Fridays and have a “happy hour” every Friday so everyone could just relax and talk and be people, not boss/co-workers. She always made everyone laugh and smile. .. Proud to have known her. She was an amazing boss, friend, mom and person.

So sorry for your loss

I worked as paralegal for a few years for Cindy,she was an amazing attorney and wonderful woman. so sorry for the loss and praying for peace and healing. Tanya Howell
