Oh DAMNIT ! I just can't stand when this happens! We grow to love these gals, and follow them, and it breaks our hearts when they leave us.... When "we" lose someone, heaven gains another angel.... I'm so sorry............. xoxo

Thank you for letting us know. Rose (Cindi) was a wonderful person, and much loved here on BCO. My condolences to you and to the DD's.

Dear Kirk, Anna, Audrey, and Amy, thank you for letting us know and please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dear wife and mother. She was your Cindi, but she'll always be honored as Rosevalley on these boards. Please know that there are hundreds of us who followed this thread and did what we could to encourage dear Cindi as she traversed the path she'd been given. Her raw honesty and emotion, not to mention her humor, charm, wit, and compassion, resonated with all of us. I'm so very sorry for your loss, but Rose fought her battle with everything she had and then some. Now she's free of pain and has shed that earthly body that had betrayed her for so long. I think heaven will soon be filled with rhododendrons if Cindi has her way. May you all find peace...

I know she is at peace and you will carry her in your hearts forever. Blessings to you all when you need them most.
In loving kindness, Mel

So sorry for your loss, Kirk and daughters. Cindi was an inspiration with her passionate warrior's heart. She blessed us all with her courage, strength and honesty as long as she could.
We grieve with you.

So very sorry for your loss. It's our loss as well. Even though I knew it was coming, didn't make it easier to read. I am happy though that she got her peace and is rid of the misery she was in for oh so long. She got her wish. She now joins Stephanie in heaven. My deepest sympathies to you, your kids, and all her friends and family. Thank you for letting us know. I hold her in my heart now.

Thank you for letting us know about Rosevalley. She has such a special spirit, and I know part of her will always be with all of you. I am so glad to have "met" her. She was a remarkable woman who taught us so much. May you be comforted by sweet memories of her.

I too will miss Rosevalley (Cindi). When diagnosed in 2015, her posts were among the first I came across that really helped me. I mostly read her experience but her fortitude helped me push through some tough times myself. I will truly miss her here on the boards and my thoughts go out to you her Dear Husband and 3 dear daughters. Thank you for letting us know, we appreciate her not just disappearing. Rest well Cindi.

Thank you Kirk for letting us know. My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Fly free Rosevalley. I will always remember you.

Dear Kirk, Audrey, Anna, and Amy,
I really have no words, your loss is indescribable. I hope in time you can find some comfort in knowing the incredible impression your dear Cindi had on so many cancer siblings ( the most of which she never met) . I had so much admiration for your wife. Her strength became all of our strength.I send you much love and appreciation for taking the time to write to us. I will think of her in a beautiful garden walking with no pain.

Peace and loving kindness to you Kirk, Audrey, Anna and Amy. Cindi is one of my heroes here. She was a leader, a seeker and a truth-teller. Most of all she was so very brave and wanted every minute life would give her with the four of you. So sosorry for your loss.

Kirk, Audrey, Anna and Amy,
My prayers are with you all right now for Peace, Comfort and Acceptance. My feelings right now are mixed, just as Cindi's were in these last difficult weeks.
I know she wanted to stay with all of you, but I know she wanted to be free of the pain and suffering.
Another beautiful Butterfly has left its cocoon after a valiant struggle. She is now fluttering in The Garden amongst all of her favorite flowers.
All of us who "met" her here were forever impacted by her honesty, bravery and strength. Most of all, we were inspired by her undying love for you. It screamed out in every post.
Cindi was above all things.... REAL. She wrote exactly what she was feeling about, and that was a great gift to all the ladies here and a few of us husbands.
Loving Kindness to you all.

Dear Kirk and family, my condolences and prayers are with you and your family. I never had a chance to speak with Cindi, but I followed her in some of the threads.
God Bless.

Thank you Kirk for telling us of Cindi's passing. Her love of her family was so evident here.

Kirk, Audrey, Amy and Anna,
Everyone on theses boards will miss cindi. She gave so much to us. I will always think of her saying glory in the moment when I think of her. But our loss is nothing in comparison to yours. She loved all of you so much. It came out in just about every post........kirks fabulous cooking, owl ornaments, the honor in her kids names, rhodies azaleas and bulbs, bird sanctuary trips, boost in a wine glass and we can't forget Percy. I hope all of the wonderful memories that were created will stay with you a lifetime.
God bless,
Mary Anne

So very sad. I lost another dear friend to cancer on the same day as Rosevalleys passing. I am very very sad for the loss of these truly lovely ladies and also for myself. My deepest sympathies to Rodevalleys family. She is no longer in pain or discomfort. Cancer truly sucks.
