Cindy was such a brave, courageous, woman with a fighting spirit. She was loved and admired by many and will be sorely missed. I am so happy that Chuck and I were able to spend time with her and Ray at Michele’s wedding in October. She looked absolutely beautiful and was so happy. She will always be in my heart and Ray will be in my prayers.
Cindy was one of the most caring, kindest people I know and I feel blessed to have called her my friend. She was not just a friend but a mentor and inspiration as well. We were so happy that she and Ray were there when David and I got married in October, it meant the world to us. The impression she has made on my life will never be forgotten, it is precious to me. Ray you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Michele & David

Mrs. Burnette was such a sweet, kind, and loving soul. I am so greatful to have had the pleasure of meeting her. I will always remember that beautiful smile. Ray, you are in my thoughts. Your love for one another was so strong, you always had encouraging stories for me whenever I saw you. I will always remember and love both of you!!!
You will be greatly missed by your wonderful husband, your loving mother, your dedicated sisters, brother and other family members. You were loved by all of us. May our tribute to you be that we will emulate your kindness and love to those of us who remain behind. I think back to the days when I used to babysit you as the Story Lady. You were always well-behaved and this was an omen of how you would mature as a shining example of a valiant woman.
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful years with me. You are the very best cousin I could have asked for…we sure had fun didn’t we? I hear your voice in every moment of my day. I look forward to seeing you again. Say hello to the family for me.

Ray and Cindy’s Family, My heart goes out to you for the loss of Cindy. She carried all of you with her in her thoughts every day and told me so many stories as we worked. She will always carry a place in my heart and memories and I will never forget her kindness and goodness. I enjoyed our card making trips – she was so comfortable to be with and set a great example for all of us with her great love for others. I know she is happy with our LORD. May HE be with you and comfort you during this time.

To the Family of Cynthia Burnette:
Obviously from reading the guest book, Cynthia will be missed by so many. So it really makes us wonder why do we suffer illness, old age, and death? Would such a thing really be the purpose of a ‘God of Love’? (1 John 4:8) There is so much comfort to be drawn from reading the scriptures. Within the pages of the Bible it tells us why we suffer now and how God is going to reverse things here on the earth and restore paradise to the earth,which was his original purpose. Please when the mourning of the loss of Cynthia has subsided, consider having a serious study of the Bible that will give immeasurable comfort and answer many of your perplexing questions of why things are the way they are and how Jehovah God will soon bring about global changes. (Rev 21:3-5)
To Ray and family, Cindy came into my life through a blessing from God in finding Corky and with that Cindy became one of my dsearest friends. God always has his angels right where he needs them. When I think of her, I think of how many peoples lives she touched and how impossible it is to describe her inner beauty and love. I will miss my Hi Sweetie, and my fashionista. She is there just on the other side of thst sunset and can’t wait to walk along that beach and have a chat with her just as I did in October. Know she loved you all and wanted you not to worry about her as she told me on our last walk. You will never be forgotten. Always,
What do I say about a person as beautiful as Cindy? I have to say I just loved her. She was the most caring and compassionate person I’ve ever known. She will always be my ‘sister.’ I will miss her greatly. I think back to all the fun we had at the Beuchat home during the holdiays in the 70’s with all the crazy games we played. So much laughing – good times. To Ray and the Beuchat family I’m so sad and sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Mrs. Beachat, the Burnette family, Sue, Bill & Nancy, all of the Beachat family. I have & will continue to keep you all in my prayers. Sending my sincere condolences. Although I didn’t have the pleasure to know Cynthia, I have been blessed to know Bill, Nancy, & Sue. All such good people. And Dick, who also passed before us, was a wonderful man. I’ll always cherish my memories of Dick as my 7th grade basketball coach. He made it it fun! Again I am truly sorry for your loss.
We met Cyndi through The Make-A-Wish Foundation in Asheville, and were honored to call her ‘friend’ for these few short years. She was an important link in our special ‘Circle Of Friends.’ Ray, we’re so sorry we couldn’t be there to celebrate her life. The times we all got together will always be so special. You’ll stay in our thoughts and prayers. We love you, both.
