To the angels...

November 13, 2004; 2:15am Cindy Robin peacefully passed away. She waited for all of us to be there to say goodbye and wrote a note the day before saying that she loved everyone and that she would be good. Both of my parents were there when Cindy drifted out of this world...and I believe that my family greeted her on the other side with open arms.

I told her how much she was loved, how I always looked up to her and I thanked her for always watching out for me, taking care of me and showing me things I didn't know. She believed in me more then I knew. For that I will be forever grateful and to everyone who loved Cindy and always showed her support, love and care, thank you. Thank all of you for being who you are, and always help to keep Cindy's memory alive. She'll be in my heart and with us always. My "Cidny"

Forever,
Sherry Ellen, her sister.

I am sitting here in front of this screen trying to think of some words I can put that will help you through this. I can't. I just want you to know you have my deepest condolences and you are all in my prayers at this time.

Sherry, I love you to bits and I wish there were a way I could take this pain from you and your family. If any of you need anything in this time of grief and sadness, you only have to ask.

With love and deepest sympathies

Hello,

this is DonnieDarko from bcd, I just heard the sad news from TDP. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Maybe your sister is in a better place now, where there are no such things as war, illness and greed.
Hope to see you around again soon

Dear Sherry, Eileen and Al, Andrew and Melissa,

Bonnie called me this morning to let me know the news. I've been praying so much for Cindy since I visited her for those few quick moments last month at your door. I'm so upset that I was sick because I really wanted to come in and give her a great big hug but I knew I could'nt risk getting her ill. I just thank God that I was able to talk to her for a few minutes even if it were from a distance.

I wish that I could help you all get thru this. I really wish that I could be there with you. Please know that our hearts are there with you even if we physically are not.

All I know is that I'm glad that Cindy was one of my good friends....I'm glad that we hung out when we were kids....I'm glad that she remembered those good 'ol days in her last hours. When the BBabes used to hang out!!! I heard it made her smile which makes me smile. (Sherry - I also heard you now know our secret that we kept all those years...you are now an official member of our club!! :)

I am smiling right now as I wipe away my tears. I actually feel better now knowing that she is at peace. I Love you guys and I know that you will be OK...you have each other to lean on...Family is the BEST thing in the world. Thats whats been getting us thru since my Dad passed away. It'll be 1 year this Thanksgiving Day. I asked him to greet her up there and to take care of her. If there's one person to keep her smiling its him - he WAS always a character!!

Take care of each other and I hope to see you all real soon!!

Love Always, Grace.

There will be no words to comfort us all, for myself, and our families ...mom dad, Marc,Grace,Grandma & Grandpa Benjamin and Nanny and Poppa Cohen, Jay, Scott, Aunt Rochelle, Uncle Irwin, Aunt Micki and Uncle Howie, Mama Vita and Poppa Joe, Melissa and Danny, and Amelia Badelia... May we always keep one another close to our hearts for Cindy...(AKA) CIDNEY GIRL!! Always love one another to ETERNITY, be there togehter for her sake and remember all the best of times we shared as many families have bonded into one!! For Cindy, as she would want it this way. I am thankful, appreciative and the luckiest women in the world to have been BLESSED with the love and truest friendship any person could ever hope for. Sherry, you are my Cindy clone, and for this I need you to stay close to me always. The only comfort for me at this time of losing my best friend who was "my sister" as well...is that I truly believe that Cindy is at peace with herself, and will enjoy her new life in Heaven, at peace with no pain and is with all of those who love her and waited for her and welcomed her with wide open arms to be able to enjoy her and her beauty as we have here on earth to be with them as God watches them enjoy life without sickness and pain and not a worry in the world. Please always know that I will love you forever.
Hugs, kisses and much happiness and health always in Heaven Baby! xo Bonnie xo

DEATH ENDS A LIFE, NOT A RELATIONSHIP.
JACK LEMMON



WHEN I COME TO THE END OF THE DAY
AND THE SUN HAS SET FOR ME
I WANT NO RITES IN A GLOOM-FILLED ROOM.
WHY CRY FOR A SOUL SET FREE?
MISS ME A LITTLE, BUT NOT TOO LONG
AND NOT WITH YOUR HEAD BOWED LOW.
REMEMBER THE LOVE WE ONCE SHARED-
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO.
FOR THIS IS THE JOURNEY, WE MUST ALL TAKE
AND EACH MUST GO ALONE.
IT'S PART OF THE MAKER'S PLAN,
A STEP ON THE ROAD TO HOME,
WHEN YOU ARE LONELY AND SICK AT HEART
GO TO THE FRIENDS WE KNOW
AND BURY YOUR SORROWS IN DOING GOOD DEEDS
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO.

To my dearest Best Friend Sherry & The Levine Family: I am deeply sorry for the loss of your daughter, Cindy Robin Levine; there are no simple or right words I can think of to say to you that would take even the slightest pain from your hearts. She fought with every ounce of strength to beat this demon, but God has other plans for her now. Please take some comfort in the memories you have of her, the time spent here on earth with her, and most of all, know that Cindy lives in Melissa's soul: she is now Melissa's guardian angel & protector. God bless all of you...Marianne Wojtal & sons, Joseph & Jonathan Evelich

To The Levine Family,
I was so saddened when I saw your posting that Cindy had passed away. I really endjoyed working with her and was looking forward to her returning. I am so glad that I did call and speak to her a month or so ago to let her know I was thinking of her. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I wish there were something I could say to help ease your pain that you are feeling right now. But I know from experience that time heals all. Keep your faith and be strong . And please know that she will be greatly missed here at Purity.

You'll miss her now,
Your hearts are sore
As time goes by, you'll miss her more,
Her loving smile, her gentle face
No one can fill that vacant place.

Love and Prayers to you and your family
Sherri Alfeo

The most special thing happend today, and I am writing to you to let you know about it. I am going to write to you whenever I need you. I truly believe you have loved me more and more every year we celebrated another year of friendship. That is a very many 26 years.I have you everywhere around me so that you can feel my love for you will never be forgotten, just cherished more and more every day!! I talked to you yesterday as I held your picture in my hands and I Prayed for you to give me a sign that you heard me...you know what Cin? You came through for me as you always have. I opened my kitchen blind and looked out...the Sun was shining so beautufully as I felt you looking over me...I turned to the refridgerator door where I have your beautiful picture and touched your pretty face...I asked again for you to be with me and when I turned back around to the window... there was a Ladybug on my window screen...I knew at that moment it was you...I also asked to please let me know that you are at Peace and comfortable...the Ladybug flew away...I knew it was you again letting me know that you are at peace and free of pain and suffering. I will return in a min for I have something else to tell you...for now and always Cindy...I love you deeply

Hi Cidney Girl,
It is me again...your pesty friend Bonnie who is missing you more than you could ever possibly imagine...another thing to tell you which was amazing for me to help to get me through my pain is that...today, unexpectedly...my door bell rang, it was Sherry...she just came by to see me as I was so happy to see her and felt so important, that she made my home the first stop to come and talk to me and just be together. It was truly amazing, the way that I felt when I saw her. I saw you! When I'm with her...I'm with you, and when I hear her...I hear you. Cin, my love for you will never end, but I feel now that Sherry is such a big part of you that lives on... that she and I share a special bond because of you!! Jackie feels a special bond to her and asked Sherry if she could please be her Aunt for her Aunt NINI!!! Sherry has proudly accepted this offering for Jackie and Jamie Boy in your honor. Today was the beginning of a beautiful bond in your honor because you live on in Sherry. Today they stayed with me for most of the day and we had a small bite to eat together- it was chinese food...had to be NY chinese food! After we ate, Sherry took Jackie to the mall to buy Melissa her birthday gifts for her birthday on Sunday, as we will celebrate her 2nd birthday. I promise to be back in touch with you to let you know all about Melissa's birthday...one thing you do know...it will be a Purple Party...the second thing you know...how much we love you and how much we truly miss you. I am grateful to you for sharing your wisdom with your sister and Sherry, I am forever grateful to you, for the love you showed to me and my children today. I appreciate it more than you can ever imagine...I love you both so very much!!
XO Bonnie XO

My Dearest Sherry...
It has taken me a week to even come close to know what to say here. After much soul searching, I still feel blank. I guess rather than saying how sorry I feel in my heart, I will tell you a few things that I know to be truth.
Cindy loves you. I will not use past tense words here because her love for you continues. Cindy can not be seen right now but she is with you. She lives in your heart, and in Melissa... but more than that, her being has not left you. Just like my dad, I can feel her. I see it in little things that would usually go un-noticed. Death is nothing more than another stage that we all must walk through at some point. So take solace, my sweet... Cry, scream, miss and feel sad... thats all normal... but always know that she is standing by your side holding you when you do. I know you cant see her, but I promise you that she is with you every step of the way smiling at you. Can you even imagine how proud she must be of you? Even in all her pain, she made it a point to come to your graduation. You turned your life upside down for the months she lived with you. You spent countless hours rubbing out her legs... Sherry she loves you and always will. Your sister and my Father are both looking at us and having a toast to us for doing what we did for them.
I love you my dear and just like your sister, I will always be here for you. I am so proud of you...
Chris
