I am very sorry that I am up in Canada taking care of my dad so am not able to get back to pay my respects and honor the life of Cindy at her services this week I worked with Cindy in Pediatrics at UCDMC from 1981 until 2005. She was one of the finest Pediatric nurses I have ever worked with and will be greatly missed by so many whose lives she has touched. Cindy could always be counted on to take care of the most challenging patients and families as she never judged or was critical of anyone. I know she helped to raise and teach a whole new generation of nurses during her career as she was always willing to share her special skills. Most of all I remember how much she loved Renee and her pets and how she valued her free time away from work. We all admired Cindy’s work/life balance and her emphasis on family and friends. I also remember her quiet and quick humor and her love of life. I share your sadness and send my heartfelt condolences. Cindy will live on in my heart forever.
“It was comforting knowing that Dad was with a trusted name. Particularly since he was cremated, it was good to know he remained under the care of East Lawn.”

"...The remarkable part was how lovingly the staff cared for her (my mother-in-law). It's a hard thing when you have to let someone's physical being go from you, and they did it with such kindness..."

"Please thank the person who prepared our father for viewing. We were very happy with the way he looked. Our great uncle was a mortician and he would have been pleased."
