I'll never forget meeting Cindy Leet 1st day of eighth grade at Barnes Jr. High.
She was sitting next to me in math class and turned to introduce herself in that warm friendly manner of hers which was always a signature of her personality. Those big round baby blue eyes and wide bright smile under her crown of golden blond hair.....I was smitten!
From that moment on we were fast friends. We shared many common interests in music, movies, art, books, plants, food, people. We had instant reporie with each other. Over the the years we were able to maintain our bond of friendship & always basked in the glory of our companionship.
We are all blessed if we have a few true close friends in this life ....
It's been my privilege to count Cindy as one of mine.
One of her greatest joys was being surrounded by her friends and family while catering to their needs. She was one of those people who drew great satisfaction by pleasing others.
She was always very up-beat making the best of difficult situations and maintained a sunny disposition in spite circumstances.
She loved to have fun !!!
With so many years of memories it's difficult to pick any favorites....... but I can remember one particular forth of July she was planning a family cook-out and wanted some of "Old Hickory's" salad dressing for the meal. So the night before we went there for dinner. Upon finishing our meal she asked the waitress to bring the dressing & add it to our check. When I met her out in the car after settling the bill, she revealed to me that she also got some of their Bar-B-Q sauce........Two large bottles she had stuffed into her purse right in front of me while and I never noticed...we laughed all the way home!
We had so many wonderful laughs and tears together ...........
Anytime Cindy comes to mind I will think of the words to the Gordon Lightfoot song " Rainy Day People"
"Rainy day people don't hide Love inside, they just pass it on"
Thanks Cindy
