KatieB Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I am glad to have known her for 8 years and I am glad to have met her and spent some time with her. She was my inspiration when my dad was diagnosed- both of them with the same diagnosis-- and she even wrote to him... such a great support. I am still in shock. I've lost a sweet friend. We've all lost a great friend to our site. You can find her story in the My Story forum. She was dx with small cell and given a grim diagnosis- like my dad- and she blew away that prognosis by MANY years...she was a walking miracle. When I met her for the first time, her personality was huge and she lit up a room with laughter and smiles. I will miss you, CIndyRN. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to Tom, her children and grandchild. May God comfort and hold you during this time. Me & Cindy Cindy BrownCindy D. Brown, 53, 1011 W. Tulip Lane, Robinson, Ill., went to be with her Savior at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, 2010, at her residence, following many months of battling brain tumors.

Kasey Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Oh darn it, Katie. I remember her from Chicago - remember all her pics??? I have thought about her so often - I really have - and wondered how she had been doing. Had she been doing poorly for a long time? Sent a message once - remember when I asked you about some whom I hadn't seen around for awhile -you suggested I send them a message? Anyhow, never heard anything. She was amazing. LC stinks!

KatieB Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Last year she told me about a recurrence that she was going to do treatment for...she made it sound easy-peasy....but deep down I think I knew better. She spent last year with her family and 1 yr old granddaughter. She sent me only sporadic messages here and there. Still I was shocked when her husband wrote to me about her passing... She was a character in Chicago! She has been and WILL be missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric byrne Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It is to my disadvantage,in not being around here getting to know Cindy.I have read her introductory posting here,and I can recognise from that she had a strong personality and had a super drive to succeed in life.It is obvious to me that she did have a very successful life.My sympathy is extended to her family and friends.

Ann Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I am so very sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. She was there for me so many times after I lost Dennis. No matter how long we've been members of this board, it still hurts when we lose another member and friend. Funny, you would think our hearts would be a little more equipped to deal with losses after all this time, but it never gets easier. I am saying a prayer for Cindy's family, as I know how very much they will miss her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Darn it Katie. This disease takes another wife, mother, grandmother, friend and member of this board. It makes me so furious. I didn't know Cindy but I feel for you having to bear another such loss on top of so many. My sincere condolences to you and to her family.

LynneH Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Katie, this is such sad news. I haven't logged on in quite a while and spotted the 'CindyRN' right away. When Jim was sick, I was too shy to post but came here often to see how others were doing and to learn as much info as I could. I dug up the courage to private message Cindy because she and Jim shared the same diagnosis and she was doing so great and was such a true inspiration! I send you, her family and friends my heartfelt condolences and I know we all will cherish warm memories of her forever. Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
