Kelly & family: I just learned of Cindy’s passing and am deeply saddened. I first worked with Cindy at LGH in the Records Dept. in the mid 60’s. Many years later I worked in the Prep Area at CVAL (later Heart Group). She was one of the most delightful and compassionate employees in that office. Loved & respected by all. My deepest sympathy in your loss. Bonnie Kramer

Kelly, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. It was always a pleasure to walk into her and Tami’s Office. You never quite knew what you would find. One day, I remember I walked in and they were making hamburgers on a George Foreman grill😀. Your mom was always so pleasant and easy to work with. I remember her fondly. May her soul rest in peace. Mary Ann Smith.
