Condolences
I had the privilege of helping bring this wonderful child into the world. I teased Cindy that I was the first to hold him and I was going to get to spoil him. That all ended when Cindy and Kevin came down to visit. Once she was here I had no ground to stand on. Now I will live the rest of my life making sure that Chase always know and remembers who his Mema was. I Love you and can't wait till you are back home so we can share one more drink. Love you and will miss you till we meet again.
Oh Cindy, we had so much fun when you (& patient Kevin) took me to New York, you were as excited as I was. Even tho you were in the wheel chair and in pain, you never complained. You even did this 3 different times - only a niece who loved their auntie would do that. When you came to visit me in the fall you scolded me and told me not to tell you what to do...Old habits are hard to break! You just send me a hard "poke" now and then to repay me. Love you Sweetie. Auntie Cookie
What a great family. I believe each and everyone of us are here on earth to serve a purpose, and for one reason or another we have another jourey to conquer. First was our Father, I believe he went to "Heaven" to bring laughter with his jokes. God to our sister Cindy at an early age, but truley believe he needed her in "Heaven" for a few reasons, she sure could cook some big meals, make some great drinks, play cards and board games anytime day or night, but all who new Cindy knows she is in "Heaven" to tell everyone you need to do it this way LOL (:, that was our sister, yes she was the middle child and Mom's favoriate (smile) she knows its true,laughing right back at us. I will never forget one thing about my sister I caught her doing something she was not suppose to be doing, so she took me into the bathroom and made me smoke a cigerate and quoted "there now if you tell mom and dad on me, I will tell them you smoke" Needless to say I never told. I know one by one we will all be together again. I will miss you and love you forever. Kathy (Dink)
Laughter, life, love, smiles and tears we have shared together....
You, my sister Cindy were a gift to our family...(only because once we opened the gift up, inside it said "non-returnable")! You were the "Middle Child" the only blonde, blue eyed in the Kirkpatrick Family. I remember telling you you were adopted.. and you.. having NO "sense of humor" at the age of 1 through 10, you would always go running to mommy cryin like a baby..(mom always did like you best!) We, the four of us kids gowing up shared alot of those laughters, tears, and smiles, but memories were made, keepsake pictures were taken to look back on, and we were and will always "be there for each other" To Kevin and my Nephews...Cindy is that bright, shining star, (the one with the SMILE inside of it) she now helps light the path for each of you, that light will give you all the strength and courage you need to get through this day and the days to follow. Cindy, My Sister, My Friend, I will miss you forever..Love, Barbie
Those were the good old days. My how every one has grown. No wonder I feel old. Ha Ha Shea, you didn't want too have your picture taken. All you wanted was to run and play. You looked so cute in your overhalls. Shawn, you thought that all this picture taking was a bunch of malarkey. Your Mom thought you boys were the only two that she could love the way she did. Kevin was her crutch of life. She thought the sun rose and set on him. I think that she is watching every move you boys make and is so proud of each of you. Cindy you are so loved by all.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Remembering an old friend.
Kevin, Shawn, Shea, Words can’t even express how sadden I am of my dear friend Cindy’s passing. She was a very dear friend that will forever hold a special place within my heart. I will cherish the memories of our friendship forever. My heart has been so heavy since I heard the news. She will always live in our hearts and prayers. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. We are sending lot’s of prayers your way. Love you all Todd & Rebecca Holt, family
My heart goes out to all of you as you spend this vigil together and celebrate Cindy. So many memories have flooded back this last few days. The Winnebago, we used to hang out in at the Kirkpatrick's house on base. The Ross Street house, lots of parties there, Music, Volley Ball, Dale, Tebo, Taco Box, Feed Lot, Lake, concerts. Lots of Fun before we all became "responsible adults" Wish I could find that pic of Kevin in his shiny Drummer suit. I will have to keep digging. So glad that through Facebook we got connected again. Know I love you all and will smile when I think of Cindy.
Kevin, Shawn and Shea, Remember this is your mother-in-law and your Grandma talking now. I know how much you three loved her. I can't tell you what it means to lose a daughter. My heart is broken just like yours. We will never forget her. Cindy sure could tell us what to do and would never leave it alone until one of us gave in. She is so much better off with her Lord and her daddy. They are probably laughing at all the things we are doing here on earth. I will love her and take care of her grandson as she would have done.
What a wonderful time when my sister and her siser-in-law invited me to meet them in North Carolina. Had such a great time, bonded with two great friends and of course good food, drinks and laughter. Laura you were a wonderful person and friend to my sister. She loved you and I know she will miss you as much as you miss her. I know Cindy will want us to remember and cherish all the good times we had.
You know I love you girl (:
That's right, you see it, our older sister taking her younger sisters out on the town. Guys had to stay home, girls got to go out. I will remember the laughing and dancing. Even though Cindy wore a brace she put me to shame doing the two step.(:
Love you Cindy
Wow! Where do I begin? I believe a picture does say a thousand words, as you well can see, even though we all live far apart our hearts were always with each other and when we did all get together it was always lots of laughter, jokes (learned from our Dad),fun and always cutting up with each other. Always making our mom laugh due to little sayings we said to her,jokes, good or bad. It never falied she would always throw those full names at us,with saying Barbara, Cynthia, and Kathleen you girls behave and I can't take you three anywhere.
Cindy, I just want you to know that your not getting off this easy, when mom is getting on me, Barb or Roger we are going to blame it on you, I know you are laughing because I know you! (: Smile my sweet sister you will always be with your two sisters and brother and will never be forgotten. Love you and miss you, Kathy Kirkpatrick Reeks
Kevin, Shea & Shawn, Oh how Cindy loved you all, just remember that. You were so good to her also, never doubt that. Looking at the pictures you can see she had many fun and happy times. Know that my love is with you and Auntie Cookie will always be here for you and Cindy will always be in my heart. Love , Auntie Cookie
