Craig Family,

My condolences and prayers on the loss of Cindy. We graduated together from KCHS in 1982. I remember her in grade school when I first moved to Chicora in 1972. She was a quiet and kind soul like me. In high school we ran with different friends but we knew each other and all our classmates by name. I will miss her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
