Agreed. I know my FB wall will never be the same.

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
She was sweet. Seems like no one could post "good grief' better then her.

Would have NEVER known, Cindy was always there to pray and encourage everyone else, but never complained about herself.
I think that's one reason this has come to such a shock to all of us, we didn't know that she wasn't doing well for a while.
It does my heart good to envision her little 80+ lbs dancing around in heaven!

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
Who knew a Nobody would become a Somebody that everyone loved... a real celebrity of true character and love towards others...
How many "Cindys" are out there? Thousands...
But there is one that touched all of us...
I'm thankful for the little "Nobody".. She wasn't preaching conferences, making public speeches, wearing Gucci, Prada or comparing her holiness with others...
But I could always count on a "Like" from her on most of my posts...or a comment... that always brought a little encouragement...
Everybody need Somebody to like them... and Cindy was that Somebody...
It is amazing to see the tapestry of comments from young to old, from saints to pastors, and those with faith struggles...
God Rest, Cindy... you left your mark on this earth...
Signed,
Nobody...

Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.
We finally made it back home~ Our prayers were answered~ But what was supposed to be a happy return for me on AFF is now a sorrow and sadness I have not felt in many years~~ I received a call last Thursday from Mrs Cindy and we talked about how she was looking forward to seeing me back on AFF once we made our trip back to our home in Montana.
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.

Wonderful post, J. You knew her well and she loved you. It's a natural thing to hurt. We all do. But your words were beautiful.
