I am shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Cindy. I spent Saturday a week ago with her in Gettysburg and she was so happy and feeling well.  Since I am out of town, I will not be able to attend the service, but You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

IT IS WITH DEEP SORROW THAT I HEARD ABOUT CINDY’S PASSING. SHE WAS A LOVING AND CARING LADY WHO FOUGHT HARD THROUGHOUT HER LIFE TO OVERCOME MANY OF LIFE’S SITUATIONS.  SHE TRULY LOVED HER FAMILY THROUGHOUT HER LIFE AND UNTIL THE LAST TIME I SAW HER CONTINUED TO THINK OF THEM WITH MUCH LOVE.  SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED BY MANY WHO HAVE COME TO KNOW HER AND TO LOVE HER. SHE IS NOW TRULY HAPPY, JOYOUS AND FREE.       WE WILL COME TO KNOW A NEW FREEDOM.
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES  
SINCERELY: PEG WITMER

Don, Krista and family.  My name is April Rissinger and I am your Mother’s first cousin on the Trenta side.  My Mother, Gloria, and your grandfather, Trieste, were brother and sister.  Your Mother was four years older than me, but when we were children I looked forward to the routine Sunday visits from the Lancaster branch of the family.  Cindy and I would play hospital.  I would assume the role of the patient.  Your Mom never forgot to send me a Christmas greeting and on rare occasions when we got together it was always a pleasant event.  I was sorry to hear of her passing and apologize for not be able to attend the memorial.  I have grandmother duty tomorrow and I will have to pick my youngest grandson at school.  Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
