  8. I remember the very first time I met Cindy. My heart breaks for you all. I wish you peace.

  9. TRIBUTE TO CINDY EDWARDS WITH LOVE BY KATHY Losing a sister is hard to imagine. We were The Proctor Girls. I am the oldest and growing up I was serious, shy and a good student. Terry was the homecoming queen, cheerleader, athletic sister. Now Cindy was Cindy-wide open. Anyone who knew Cindy growing up knows she had a good time and made people laugh (sometimes unintentionally) every where she went. She was a free spirit and happy-go-lucky individual. She did not change much in adulthood up until about the last 3 years when she started to get sick. Cindy lived with Tim & I the last 7 months of her life and was in hospice care. Her daughters, grandchildren and Terry and her husband came as often as they could for visits. I feel very fortunate to have been able to care for her when she needed me. We developed a very strong bond during this time. Her decline was heart breaking to watch. I wish she had of been capable of accepting help before it was too late. I am not judging, but heart broken. Cindy is finally free from her struggles here on earth and in the arms of Jesus and mama and daddy. I was lucky enough to be holding her hand and praying for her when she took her last breath. Tim & I, Terry and Tim, Emily and Patrick, Natalie and Randy and her grandchildren loved her very much. I would like to also tell you how much I appreciate my husband. He was there for Cindy and I through the whole process and did not hesitate to step up to the plate when we needed him. He was stronger than me many times. THANK YOU TIM. Cindy Lou, may you rest in peace. I know you believed in God. You told me many times and prayed often. We are never going to be the same without you in our lives. Terry and I don’t want to be The Proctor Girls without you in our lives but we will be strong. Cheers and God Bless you!

  10. Oh Cathy, I sit here reading this and my heart is judmst breaking. What a truly wonderful gift she had and way about her. I saw her for the last time maybe 5 yrs ago. She was then and remained a very unique individual. The sun will shine a little less bright now that she is gone but the memory of the Proctor Girls will ALWAYS shine as bright. I will miss her until I see her again. Teresa Whitley Cruse

  11. Dearest Kathy…I just heard and read…what a beautifully heartfelt message of your sister to share with all of us. Unfortunate circumstances that enter into our lives are a given just never knowing when and we should thank God for not having foresight…we could never get prepared enough physically, mentally, or verbally. ‘With God all things are possible.’ LUKE 137 She is with God and both with you…you sweet friend are still ‘The Proctor Girls’ for every heartbeat beats to the sound of her within. She’s making free-spirited music to keep you laughing and let you know she’s happy-go-lucky to be with God & you…lucy OX

  12. I am heartbroken!! Cindy and i had some great times together,and that i will always cherish.Cindy and i had some differences in our marriage,but my love for Cindy never wilted.Looking back i don’t think either of us knew how to let go of our youth.Sometime in life you just have to let go and if it is meant too be it will come back.Unfortunately, that was not the case.Cindy gave me two wonderful children and for that i will always be indebted.Cindy was full of life and was a inspiration too all she meet.I remember one time she told me [ In life you have too find your own happiness].I pray you my friend you have found your wings and on the way to your happiness.GOD BLESS.

  13. Cindy……when I watched the video of you, I could still feel the joy you brought whenever you were around. Your memory will always bring a smile to my face. RIP Sweet Girl!!
