Cindy was the only person on this forum who invited me to be on her Facebook. I could feel her Christian love and acceptance just like Jesus loves and accepts the unlovable.

My heart has been heavy at her passing, but I know she is in a better place reaping her rewards that Christ has given to her. Down here, she displayed the fruits of the earnest of her inheritance.

Now the good Lord saw fit that it is time she is receives all her inheritance. Although we will miss her terribly, we should rejoice with her because we will meet her again when it is our time to be called home.

May God Bless and comfort Cindy Nash’s family, especially her beloved grandchildren.

I will always remember her kindness.

AreYouReady, I would love to be your facebook friend. But I don't know your actual name I enjoy your posts and your words of encouragement many times have been exactly what I needed at that moment. Please "friend" me - Margie Whitcomb Seeman. Somehow let me know that it's you, ok?

And Godzchild, you are one of the first of all of us here on AFF that I thought of when we got the news that Cindy had moved on to Heaven. I was sooooo hoping that someone had contact information for you in your new home. Please don't be a stranger here. We're not Cindy, but we're all family - and we also love you and care about you. We're going to need each other to get thru the pain of losing our friend. ALL of us.

She made me promise her I would call her as soon as we pulled into Montana, I told her yes I promise!! I tried calling but got her VM. I left a message, and then I sent her a text. I thought maybe she was busy or resting since she had not been feeling well. I did not call her back until Monday. I went onto FB and noticed I did not see any of her posts and then I seen something that seemed as if I was not really seeing it. I seen a post from my friend Navygoat and I was in shock as I read my dearest friend was gone! I reread it as if it was for someone else.....not my friend Mrs. C ~

When I got a txt from her granddaughter telling me what happened.....it felt as if my world had stopped! I spent most all day in tears as I explained to my husband I had lost the best friend God had ever blessed me with. I looked forward every day to getting on FB, seeing her uplifting and encouraging scriptures of faith and hope.....healing and mending and then our times we would laugh over something crazy we seen, heard or read....or even how she laughed at most of my posts. I looked forward to our daily chats on FB and via mobile. I cant explain what I feel at this moment, but all I can say....is she was a god send FOR ME !!!!

When I first came on to AFF, I did not know anyone, I was bitter and hurt over something that happened with a former pastor. I was down about a lot of things going on, no church, friends and without family. My husband was trying to get us back home , waiting on a transfer and it seemed as if my whole world was sinking. She sent me a PM and gave me her number and told me to call her. I did, and that was the beginning of the best friendship ever. She always made me laugh, smile and always made sure I knew she was there for me when I needed her!

It seemed as if we knew each other for MANY years!! We laughed and shared many stories of our families. She laughed when I told her I had never heard a southern accent quiet as strong as hers before, and then she called me a yankee. We laughed over things like I call it POP and she called it soda water :-) It was always such a pleasure to talk with her. She and I were years apart in age......but that mattered NOT nor was even thought of. All I knew was, I met a friend whom I laughed with and felt as if we had been friends forever!!! My heart is heavy and I am sad. When does the hurt stop??? It never does. You heal in time but your mind never forgets when you have experienced something as I have meeting her and having a friendship with her. I will miss her throwing rocks or slapping , even her comments when she did not agree or thought the post was ridiculous !

I know many of you on AFF knew her for many years....but even tho I had only knew her a few short months.....it felt as if it were a lifetime. That is the kind of friend she was to me! She understood me and knew me.....because God put her in my life!!!!!! Mrs. C, I miss you more than you will ever know~ Oh how you blessed my life when I was down with your laughter, encouragement, life, and love.

I know when I lost my Gramma, I always felt God needed her more than I did. That was the only comfort I could find to cope with the loss of her. As for the loss of you, God needed you to keep my Gramma company until we all make it across the great divide! Until we meet again! I love you Mrs. Cindy~ When you left, the world lost a Crown, but Heaven gained a rare and priceless Gem!!!!


When you were born, you cried
and the world rejoiced.
Live your life
so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful friend.

I haven't posted but am so moved by all of the loving comments. I spent Tues trying to read everything but the tears kept getting in the way.

She will be missed!

good post but sad thread. Being new I never knew her, but it is nice to see so many that did.

My thoughts exactly

I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

I understand grief and know that only time can heal it. However, knowledge of her being much better now does help those on earth cope with the departure of our loved ones.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am not sure I will be on much until I can really let this settle. I am at a loss. She meant ALOT to me. I am honored that she gave me her number and wanted to share a TRUE and rare friendship....one of which you can seldom find anymore. That is why I loved her so! I am on FB under her list as Little Ara

I too was worried about you GZ when I heard Sis. Cindy had passed on, because I knew from your posts that you both had become such good friends. I never got to talk to Cindy in person, but felt as if I knew her like a close friend, because of her love and graciousness here on the forum. I really like the thought above that you posted. Truer words could not be spoken about Sis. Cindy.

Please keep checking in here at AFF, you have become a beloved part of this place too!
