Birthday cards, gardening tips, recipes and lots of love all come to mind when I think of Aunt Cindy. But above everything was her love for GOD and we all knew it. I am sad like everyone but I know she is exactly where she is supposed to be. I know she is smiling and rejoicing because she is home with GOD. ❤️
