Danny, I am very sorry to learn about Cindy's passing. I lost contact with her when you moved to Clear Lake and I moved to San Antonio. She clearly made a difference in the lives of 40 foster children while raising your own children as well. I will pray for you and your family. Rest in peace Cindy.

So thankful for all my sweet memories with my Aunt Sissy. Summer trips to Houston (Nasa) and Colorado vacations, piano lessons, riding on the back of her purple dirt bike. She taught me to love wild flowers and even had me eating vegetables that she grew (that I would have never eaten before). I hate that I can be there for her Memorial Service. I love you so much Uncle Dan, Keelie, and Bryan.

I will always cherish the memories of Aunt Sissy. She was always supportive regarding the situation. It didn't matter if someone had scared me in a mask and robe while playing a game. She was always there to comfort us. I will always cherish her sense of humor when she aided Uncle Dan in highlighting that planes are suppose to fly when all of us were sad our stay in Colorado was coming to an end. Aunt Sissy you are missed but will always be a source of comfort and smiles for me. Prayers and best wishes for Bryan, Keelie, and Uncle Dan.
