John, Johnny, and Laura,
I cannot imagine the grief you must be feeling. Losing a loved one is never easy, but this is particularly painful given the recent passing of A mother-in-law and grandmother.
I am deeply honored to have known Cindy, albeit for a relatively short time. Cindy was the most caring, compassionate, and giving person I know. I did not know her at the time; she was the nurse that was with my grandmother on her last night on the planet. How comforting it was to me to gain insight many years later. My first memory of Cindy was in the summer of 2019. She spent a week at 803 Liberty Street, cooking, cleaning, entertaining, and caring for her mother. She was a whirlwind with limitless energy. She could not have possibly been more generous with her mother. She wanted to decorate the front porch and yard with flowers. I was amazed when she said, "Pete, I'm going to buy every flower they have at Walmart," and she did just that!
I looked after her mother and expected nothing in return. However, in typical Cindy style, she arrived at my house with three cases of wine. She was forever generous and grateful to everyone that interacted with her mother. Cindy never forgot where she came from; she could seamlessly fit anywhere, from Clarion Pa to Provinciciales.
I hope each of you will continue to cherish her memory. For as long as we keep someone in our hearts and minds, they are never truly gone. I have many more stories and am happy to share them with you at any time.
I offer My heartfelt prayers and deepest condolences for each of you.
Pete Bauer
