Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
This thread is for posting special memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I first met her online when she was posting as Texas Granny,and I kind of got a kick out of teasing her about the fact that she listened to Creedence Clearwater Revival when she was younger. I can't recall her ever posting anything unkind or hateful to anybody,and she seemed to genuinely care about others. I'll miss her. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
:girlnails - I loved when she posted that smilie when things were getting interesting!

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
Somebody added me to a group on FB that let's just say is kinda different,they discuss some different things anyways lo and beyond Sister Nash was there and spreading her kindness even when I knew she disagreed with folks there.

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
:throwrock or recently, at least, you wanted to duck if she started throwing things.
I loved how great Cindy was at diffusing a heated situation. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I loved her "Good Grief!" when she would get upset about something!

Can I post this again on this thread. This is one of the things that I remembered most. Spoke of it several times during her posting. I'll never think of "Good Grief" the same again. My memory of Cindy ................. Good Grief "Good Grief" Cindy, why did you have to leave us? There was so much more that we still had to discuss. And I don’t know if this is proper for me to say.... But on AFF the term “Good Grief” should be put away. No one seemed to be able to say it just like you, And you could always find the proper time to say it, too. I’ve looked today, trying to find the meaning of this term, An oxymoron that you handled and did it so very firm. I never got to know you in person, nor to ever shake your hand; But you were a master when the ocassion called for a firm stand. The picture that you posted on AFF, was that really you? A picture that caused me to think of you as being true blue. We’ll miss you Cindy, it just simply won’t be the same, But believe me, as your AFF friends, we won’t ever forget your name. And if someone new should one day say “Good Grief” on a post, We’ll be reminded, that was your term and you used it the most! RIP Cindy! We love you and your memory! Been Thinkin May 13, 2013 |

Good hearted soul!

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I'm curious to know......... when did Cindy first join us? Was it back in FCF or was it in NFCF? or AFF? Anyone know?
How many posts did she accumulate here? |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
How about her love of bacon. :bacon :bacondream

Cindy seemed to be a genuinely happy person.
Nothing fake about her, what you saw is what you got. I love this last picture that Cindy posted of herself here on the forum. :) I'm sure she is smiling happy in Heaven now. :) |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
One of the the recent things that I will always remember about Cindy is how VERY moved she was with compassion for the firefighters who lost their lives in that huge explosion in the town near her. She posted pictures and prayers by the dozens.

What hits me is from what her pastor has said, she hasn't been doing very well for a bit, but you'd never know it. She was the first to say she was praying for everyone on here, yet we didn't know she needed our prayers. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I don't think DA will mind, but Cindy posted this to him in a forum on FB on Friday at 4:24 a.m.
"Cindy Nash I really try to like everyone, but you know there is this one little guy here that just, I don't know. He's like this extra kid that I didn't even have, and he just seems to keep tugging at my heart. Anyway I like most of you, but Daniel Alicea, I love you. And it is my fervent prayer that you run this race with grace, and show mercy to others." This is Cindy - - she loved without walls. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
As a fellow admin I can tell you that Cindy was as wonderful, inspirational, and kind hearted behind the scenes as an admin as she was on the forum itself.
I have not felt a loss like this since that day many years ago when my phone rang and it was Vickie Yohe telling me that her brother, the founder of FCF, had died suddenly. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet and interact with Cindy online. She was an inspiration and my life is better for it. I will so miss her posts on the forum and work in the admin section. Cindy never complained so I don't know how much she suffered. I do know that her suffering is now over and she is in the arms of her Lord and Savior. |

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I had a thought, and just confirmed it. She was the very first to officially welcome me to the forum one the day I signed up. Others have shared memories and stories better than I ever could, but I loved to observe her timing. I just finished telling Mom that Cindy had the best timing for her "Good griefs" and smilies. It is very hard to believe that she had departed.
I was thinking that it would be nice if someone would read BT's poem at her memorial as a tribute from all of us who loved her here. It is a very fitting tribute. |

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I am relatively new to AFF, as most of you know. We live in Ohio, but are originally from Texas. Cindy and I shared a number of times over our love of Galveston and my own past as a Fire Fighter. We mourned together a bit. But mostly what I remember and respect the most today is the way in which she would step in with a kind and gentle word of correction when some of my exchanges were getting a little too heated. It never made you feel chastized, just acutely aware of the need to shut up. She always brought an awareness of the importance of love.
Enjoy your new found freedom in the Lord, my friend. I regret not having the time to have known you better. |

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I lost a friend today, a friend I never met in person, yet grew on me as much as any I have met in person. I spent the day avoiding these threads as every time I started to read them I'd start to cry.
Cindy was a special person to me. She was so nice and easy to get along with. You all know how the forum won't be the same without her but I've come to greatly appreciate her as a member of the Admin team too. We won't be the same. I'm sad. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
My Condolences.

I wish there was a like button I would *Like each of your post !

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I would have sworn that Cindy was on FCF and NFCF too, and I guess she was on neither one! It seems like she's been a part of us forever. It hurts me to know that she must have been suffering and never told us, but she sure was faithful to pray for each of us when we needed anything. I will miss her greatly!

Great expression Praxeas. I wonder why do we wait until someone is dead to say all the good things to them. (I'm not addressing this to you, Prax....I'm talking to myself) I'm mad at myself. This came to me recently at the passing of a country music star, George Jones. People came out of the wood work, from all genres, saying George Jones had the greatest voice, (and he was good), of all times. I wonder how many people told him that before he died. God help me to say the things that I need to say, while I can look you in the eye or at least while you can still understand me. God help us get in the "florist business" and pass out some roses to the living. If I could, I'd give Cindy a "huge bouquet" of roses so that she could smell them. So, while I'm at it, let me get started now. I enjoy reading your posts. Don't always agree but am amazed at your knowledge and learning. Enjoy reading after you. Have a good evening now.

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I loved to tease her about being a Texan......
God bless all. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
So many of you have posted eloquent words and I feel so inadequate. Cindy and I never had a "personal" forum relationship. We never interacted like most of you - but I had come to love her "Good Grief" posts. It was obvious that she was a true Christian! I will miss her!
May the Prince of Peace wrap her family in His arms - hold them tight and may His peace that passeth all understanding flood over them tonight and in the days, weeks, and months ahead! Although is seems like such a cliche - she has obtained complete healing. What a joyful thought that she is resting in the arms of Jesus! |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
She was my Big Sis.
On some of the more heated threads in the past, when I felt like no one was understanding where I was coming from, she publicly let me know that she did at least understand my point of view. I feel very, very sad and wish she was still here. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
I haven't been on here as long as some and I didn't know sister Cindy as well as most but line many have already said she was very kind in all of her post and will be missed.

Re: Spent The Day In The ER
till we meet again Cindy . . .
There’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there. In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed; And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. To our bountiful Father above, We will offer our tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days. |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
Words fail me at the moment. News of her passing hit me very hard even though I sensed the end might be near.
I never had the honor of meeting Cindy in person but we talked a lot through PMs and on FB. She was the very first of a few people here who reached out to me in kindness when I joined this board a few years ago to participate in a very heated discussion. I will miss her Bible verse posts on FB, her friendly jabs at some of my FB posts, her many emails that simply said, "I am praying for you", oh how those lifted my spirits. I shall never forget you Cindy nor what you did for me. I considered you a true friend and I will miss you every day. |
Re: Spent The Day In The ER
Cindy was one of a kind... full of love, compassion, and the Spirit from which all these flowed. Her heart was one of legend of agape. She will be missed.

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
Cindy was a real Christian. Because of her passing, I want to be kinder and more thoughtful. Life is fleeting. Her reputation speaks for how she lived her life. I want to leave this world giving people the same feeling. Thanks Cindy for your example.

I thought of this last night.......my guess is when she got to the Pearly Gates, she looked at St. Peter and just said "Good Grief!" |
Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
Cindy truly reminded me of what a sincere Christian should be. The forum will not be the same without her.
I realize she is with the Lord, but this is a sad morning hearing the news. |
It's kind of weird how I feel I have lost a close friend whom I've never met! I sincerely hope that words like "kindness" and "Christian" ,as used for Cindy, are words used to describe me when my time on earth has ended. Cindy ran a great race!
