Fond memories of Cyndi in our early years growing up on Seminole Trail. She will be greatly missed!
Sam Covelli says
I spoke to her last year as she was taking care of her husband. We did catch up about our families and remembered the childhood days in Ohio. She was always upbeat about life.
Shake says
Memories are many. She loved well – especially her kids & grandkids. Never thought we’d have to say goodbye so soon. Rest well – until we meet again. Heartfelt hugs to each of you who will miss her deeply.

Got to meet Cyndi thru Bob and Janet. Even thou we didnt spend much time together in person, we did have many converstions thru messenger. Wonderful person in my eyes I wanted her to stay in Ohio, but family was more important to her. She left way too early.
Robert Smith says
I extend my sincere sympathy to the family and hope everyone can take comfort in knowing Cyndi is free of pain and is in a better place that God has made for us. She will be missed by family and friends. Respectfully ____Bob

I babysat for Cyndi & Bob when they lived on E. 359th Street in Eastlake, Ohio. Visited Cyndi & Tom in North Carolina. Lost track for many years, but so glad I found her on Facebook in 2016. Boys, I’m sure none of you remember me (that’s why I haven’t posted anything sooner) but I am so sorry for your loss! Your mom was such a great woman! I thought about her (and you) often over the years and was so glad I got to talk to her before her passing. Love you guys!
Robert Paul Kolesar says
hey mom – i miss you. I cant believe its been so long since you left – still working on getting through you leaving and still wish I would have had one more chance to talk to you. you always said that I need to say whatever it is I felt when it came to Dad – I didn’t do that either. Thanks for being you – vulnerable to a fault. I am positive you are floating around laughing and smiling at everyone, a nudge maybe here and there. I am proud to say that you are my mom and I love you.
Mom, one of the things you taught me was to say it like I mean it, no matter when it needed to be said. I mean no disrespect to you Mom, or most on here who may still be grieving. I’m trying to… To the monster and the coward enabler with her puppet strings (she is dead so she didn’t write on here) – But to the monster – (if you are still alive) you know what you did to mom – your physical actions and gas lighting damaged her beyond repair and I truly hope you spend an eternity pondering what Janet enabled you to do, preying on the weak and treating everything and everyone like a transaction waiting to happen – always on the look-out for number one. I will see you again, you sick f*&%!! – here or in the after – God willing.
