Following the grandchildren singing, a few AFF tributes were read, including the poem "Good Grief".
Mr. Nash and their son, Perry, spoke afterward.
I would say there was around 75 people in all, possibly more. It was warm and humid, but nevertheless a beautiful memorial for a sweet-spirited lady of God I never got to meet in person. I spoke briefly with Mr. Nash and Perry after the memorial was dismissed, then drove home. I didn't see DA, or anyone that looked like him. OTF text me that he couldn't make it.
Now, we AFF-ers carry on Cindy's legacy from here...

How precious that all her grandchildren sang for her.
Sounds like it was a beautiful service.
Glad you were able to be there Dagwood.
Thank you for giving us a little glimpse of it all.
