Cindy and I would visit on the phone at least once or twice a week. Some times more often depending on our prayer needs. She always made time to talk on the phone and our visits to her home fun and exciting. We would play games, watch TV, maybe have a glass of wine or two and talk into the wee hours of the night.

We went to Houston for Josephs Graduation. The next day, we did Karaoke. We were all taking turns, Jeri-Ashley and Marissa had enncores, so Cindy and I joined them. We danced, laughed and sang til we couldnt stand anymore. We had soooooo much fun.

Her love for family and friends is in itself is, a legacy she has left to all of us. She was not a sister-in-law, she was my sister and I loved her with all my heart. I miss her voice, her laugh, her smile and her encouragement.

I look forward to the day that I can see her on the Other side, which is Heaven.

Love Always Susan

Cindy was my sister-in-law. She would come to me or call me for makeup tips and of course, when she was in town, i would always receive a call. It didnt matter that she needed her gray gone, I was just happy to hear from her. From there we would just go on talking about everything, and making jokes of it. She really did bring light everywhere she went. She loved my children and grandchildren as if they were her own. I would be working and she would go to the back bed rooms to talk and visit with them, and they loved her very much. I know she's up there being a mom to Dawn and Rocky right now and making them laugh. I miss her very much.

Love Mary

My mother was a beautiful person inside and out. She was always pleasant to be around. Her laugh was contagious and her smile lit up the room. She was the BEST mother, grandmother, wife, friend. When people talk about my mom one of the things that gets brought up is how happy she always was. When someone was feeling bad the sound of her laugh or encouragement of her words always made them feel better. A good example of this: When I was younger we were on a roadtrip. We had stopped at a truckstop for a quick break. There was a food place inside and in line there was a man crying. My mom saw how upset/sad this man was and went up to him, gave him a hug and told him everything would be ok. He wiped his tears, smiled and told her "Thank You." Now I don't know many people that would go up to a stranger and do this but I can honestly say my mom never met a stranger. To think of the happiness or comfort she must have given that guy makes me smile. It probably went a lot further then she thought. People were drawn to her. I couldn't take her anywhere without her making a new friend. When I think about things like this, it makes me so proud. In my eyes she was "angelic".

My mom loved life and life loved her. Losing her so soon and so unexpected has been so difficult for my family. She was our "fun button", the "glue" that kept us together. Family was so important to her. I was married in 2001 and from that point on every Christmas when I would ask her what she wanted, she would say in her jolly voice with a big smile " a grandbaby". Five years later she became a grandma and she was so happy.The love she had not only for our family but for her granddaughters was so unconditional. Her grandaughters were her world. She lived for them. Although I feel that it was cut so short, I'm so thankful for the time they did have with her . They have so many wonderful memories that will last them a lifetime. I remember thinking for the longest time how something so simple could make her so happy, but it did. This simple way of loving and sharing love is how God wants us to live and so many of us don't see that. In my eyes she was a "child of God."

My mom was a military wife so my father was often gone. We had no family close by so all the responsibilities were on her. She did a great job providing a great childhood for myself, my brother and sister. She kept up with homework, groceries, cooking, cleaning and sports. In my eyes she was "supermom."

The love and bond I had with my mother was very special. I believe that many may never experience a mothers love the way I have and I am very grateful to have experienced it. My mother may be physically gone, but her spirit thrives in me. It is what keeps me strong. I will be her legacy. I will strive to show my daughters the unconditional love she has showed me. I will do my best to be a good mother, sister, daughter and wife. I will strive to live life to the fullest. I believe my mom lived more lifetimes than some people do in just one. She was so full of life.

Thank you mom for all you have taught me and for all the wonderful memories, I will carry them with me forever. I look forward to the day that we wll be united in God's eternal light. I know you will be smiling and waiting with open arms.

Love,

Naomi

Cindy and I were so much more than husband and wife. Cindy was my entire world. She always had such a positive attitude. She helped me get through all of my tough times. She was my cheerleader, my counselor, my friend. Cindy and I experienced so many things in life together. I never imagined that my future would be with anyone else. Losing Cindy so quickly and abruptly is truly gut wrenching. her loss is a gaping hole in my life that will never he filled again. I love you cindy and I miss you.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Ramos & Children. Cindy, there are so many things to say & I don't know where to begin. I was blessed to have found a friend in you through your beautiful daughter Claire. Every time you came to the office you brightened our day with your contagious laughter. I'm grateful for our lunch dates, our zumba dates & our conversations about our children & husbands (I know you are smiling at this) You are now God's special angel. Rest in peace my beautiful friend and keep them laughing in heaven. See you soon. With the deepest of respect...Love you lots! Michelle Espitia

We were so fortunate to meet Cindy and Joe along with their daughter Claire when we first arrived in Houston in 2002. It was a blessing from the lord as we immediately developed a friendship that became more like family. We treasure the times we spent together in their home with their family or in ours, it was like we had known each other all our lives. The lord has called our beloved Cindy home but she will always be in our hearts.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Ramos because I was friends with her daughter, Claire. Ms. Ramos was such a happy and open person, we would always laugh around her, sometimes to Claire's embarrassment. I didn't really have a chance to travel a lot growing up, but, shortly after graduating from St. Thomas with Claire we talked about traveling. Ms. Ramos and Claire invited me on a trip to Colorado Springs to visit her parents, who so graciously opened their home to me. Ms. Ramos drove Claire and I around to see the Garden of the Gods, other beautiful parks and Pikes Peak. It was a great trip, and is still one of the most beautiful places I've visited. It is a trip I would have never been able to have without the Ramos' open hearts. I'll never forget Ms. Ramos. My condolences are with her family.
