Get to Know Cindy
by Tina
“Cindy is a genuine person who is strong, honest, kind, patient, and above all a caring, family person to her core. Because she is usually the smallest adult in the room, she is often initially overlooked at large family gatherings or work meetings. But once she speaks up or takes the floor her strong character stands out without a doubt. What I most love about Cindy is the fact that although she has many intense qualities she always uses them to foster other people’s productivity and fun.
Even before we met in 2009 she has been integrally involved in children’s lives and has excitedly welcomed every addition to our extended families. When a new niece or nephew is born, she is overjoyed even while faced with the task of changing the stinkiest diapers. Regardless of the theme of the family get-together; wedding, memorial, anniversary, etc, because her maternal instinct is overwhelming, within a few minutes she can be found sitting at the kids’ table or playing a game surrounded by her nieces and nephews making sure everyone, including her, is having fun.
As the oldest sibling of her large family, she often falls naturally into the organizer and manager role. Whether it be identifying issues or problems and orchestrating solutions, or coordinating a family ski trip, fishing outing, or trip to Disney World, Cindy is always the fun director. When things get off track she steers the conversation back on track without making a fuss or bother.
While Cindy enjoys the occasional relaxed day with a book or a TV show, her secret love is fishing — and she is always up to try new things, with the assurance that there are no sharks involved. Though often spontaneous and always fun-loving, Cindy has mastered balancing planning and improvising. Cindy will be a great mother, mentor, and nurturer for a baby.”
“Cindy has mastered balancing planning and improvising.”
