Cindy has been battle cancer for the past year and Saturday she was admitted into hospice b/c the cancer spread to her liver and it was starting to shut down
By Monday morning it spread to her brain and she passed away
It was a shock to us all b/c she was getting better before that and things were looking up....she was looking forward to coming to see me again for a visit and going to my daughter's wedding the summer
When i talked to her mom she said the last round of kemo was a diff kind then what she was doing before and she noticed things were changing and not in the good
Well at least she is out of pain and in peace with her dad, husband and daughter
We all know her as Cindy..... ladyofdragonrose .......ldr
She was so much more than what was said up there.....she did not just like hanging out with her cats....they were her babies.....she treated them and thought of them as her own children ( Angel, Mickey,Emma, Zeus, Ozzy) ...she spent more on them then herself to make sure they had all the best and looked after
i always teased her calling her the crazy cat woman but she was like that with everyone that was in her life....she would do anything for her friends ...she was the most kind hearted persons i knew
she was also pig headed and stubborn but that was part of her charm......she loved to laugh and did not mind if she was the butt of the joke if it made everyone laugh....
she loved playing pogo on line trying to get all her badges...she used to drive me crazy how addicted to them she was lol
and ps3 was one of her addictions too...i dont know too much about that side of her b/c i never played them but her and Ozzy always had some kind of competition
on one of her visits to me she fell in love with my jet ski and decided she had joint custody in ownership of it...she was so funny trying to get on it...she was too scared to try it but Tom (my hubby) finally talked her into trying it and after that we had to drag her off or it lol
her fav color is purple and she wanted me to paint the jet ski puple lol
there is so much more i can say but i am babbling too long as it is......
we are going to do a memorial page in her honor so if anyone wants to add to it please let us know
Cindy we we will always love and adore you.........you will be missed so very much

I am sorry to hear of this. I have spoken to the lady and she was very friendly toward me. Blessings for her family and friends as they deal with the loss of a loved one.
yes they are going thru a lot this year
Cindy's 24 year old daughter passed away in Jan
she was diagnosed with cancer within a week of Cindy finding out she had cancer
Cindy was a AWESOME friend. She was my partner in crime and together we trolled on Ozzy, the doggy, well basically everyone in the alliance. She was one of the few people on here who was brave enough to tell me when i was doing something stupid. She made me laugh all the time. I am truly going to miss her. I spent all yesterday crying like a baby. I am going to miss her SO very much. I will keep her family and friends in my prayers.
RIP my friend, you will be missed to say the least ~Ozzy~
I am sorry for you loss, Tammy. She was a wonderful and caring woman. Me and her had joked about having the same initials for our names here on VR.
Her presence will be missed here. But at least she is now at peace with her daughter and she will live on in all of your memories.
I'm sincerely saddened by this wonderful , sweet ladies death , She took me under her wing when I first started vr when I was barely 16 years old . Gosh I know I drove her to madness many times with my constant questions , She never complained kinda laughed about it , she never one time push her away. She was a woman of rare of rare qualities which puts her under the name of " A Lady " Cindy you my dear will be truly missed , I loved you as my friend and I will continue to love you as my friend because one day I will see you again. You were a beautiful person and even better as a beautiful Angel .
i was talking to Cindy's mom and sister and they said Cindy looked beautiful and peaceful
they had her all in purple which i know she would of loved
they even found a cute stuffed kitty to lay in with her and a few of her fav books
the only thing they forgot was a can of coke and she would of been all set lol
there was a nice turn out ...even a few of her high school friends that she had not seen in years came ..........i wish i could of went but i know cindy would of understood
we will be starting the memorial page soon.....just still trying for all of this to sink in first
That is really sad. I was very sorry to read this. I know everyone will miss her very much and yes I am including her cats in this message as well. I know they gave her great joy as she did them.
As you said she is at peace now and out of that great pain that cancer can cause.
RIP LDR
Just wanted to take a moment and say that I picked up cindy's cats today and they will now

her mom was nice enough to send myself and my daughter one so we have something to remmeber her by
thank you all for the loving thoughts....i miss her so much....
Almost from the day I got on VR over 7 years ago, she has been a friend to me. During my time in La Rose Noir, she showed me how to have fun on here. I will never forget the teasing she gave out and the teasing she took from us. She was easy to tease, but it was purely out of adoration. It was because of the teasing that we in La Rose Noir formed a bond, a kind of kinship that binds people together, makes it seem like family in a way.
It was Cindy whom made the effort to keep the Coven lively when Tammy was absent, doing her best to control the uncontrollable Ozzy. :) I would imagine that any newbie in the Coven would be shocked at how those two got along, but if you knew, as the rest of us did, it was just how we are, and no harm was really done. Deep down, I saw the true genuine friendship between Cindy and the members of Rose Noir, and that is what made for, in my opinion, a most wonderful, fun, and proud Coven.
I could tell Cindy was a great person during our phone chats and it has been and still is a great honour for me to have gotten to know such a caring, funny, life-loving person. To see her go at such a young age is heartbreaking, but she did live her life to the fullest — no holes barred.
She leaves us with a huge void in the Coven, huge shoes to fill, mainly because she had huge feet. Just kidding. Seriously tho, she made people laugh at any cost, and to me, that's what every one should do, because life is short, shorter for some than others. So no matter what happens, just remember to live, be that someone who makes someone else's journey that much better. For that I want to thank Cindy, for she had no idea how much she brightened my day, just by her being her.
I am going to miss her the most for that. Yet, I sense she's still here, watching over us, wanting us to continue the fun and frivolity. In time I am sure it will happen, but for now we must heal our souls through grieving.
So to close, I just want to say that we should remember the good moments we remember of Cindy, let that memory grow and remain in our hearts, and minds and let her name be on our lips with stories of her.
RIP Cindy
RIpP ladydragonrose ( i hope i can be of ease )
(( really dont know who she is but is always sad too see someone leave this addiction:I((
Fare the well My Ladyofdragonrose! Go and know we will carry on the battle in your stead!
Cindy was also my best friend. I met her 7 years ago on VR and we hit it off immediately. We were just alike. I was going through a rough time with my marriage, it needed to end, and I was hurting and didn't know how to leave. It was vital that I did though. She held my hand the entire time. She listened to me cry, she helped me to be strong. VR became my new home and family. She helped me to fit in and even defended me when evil drama came near. We wrote stories and poetry and shared it with each other. She used to listen to my daughters sing and loved and supported my children through a horrible divorce.
During the next phase of my life, when I met someone here who would become my new world, Cindy held my hand through the tears cried over a long-distance relationship. She listened when I confessed that I was afraid and answered when I asked, "How do I know if this is right, if this is the life for me?" She was always a text, phone call or message away. She was the best friend I had always wished for.
We had a meet up in KC and she attended. Finally we got to meet! I tackle-hugged her and loved her up! I even spent an entire night with her in the hotel room having quality girl time! We went to the KC Renaissance Festival -- even though it was sooo cold! We didn't want to say goodbye when it was time for her to go back home.
A couple years later, as I was driving across the country to pick up and bring home one of my daughters, I stopped by her house and picked her up for lunch and spent the afternoon with her, my two daughters and our dog, Malechi. Man! For being a cat lady, she sure did love Malechi and from then on asked about him, as well as the kids, every single time we talked.
She was genuine and kind and I've missed her every single day. I am happy she is free from the plague of cancer and I'm happy she is with her daughter, Amanda. I've said before and I will say it again... I won't say goodbye to my best friend, I will only say goodnight, rest well and dream sweet. I love you.
rest in peace maybe she will find her way back to the addiction blessed be
I posted this in my coven, and so I thought I would post this here also, because though this is a sad time, I know cindy is looking down and laughing like crazy at me.
Anyway, Cindy was a big fan of the walkin dead series, and talking dead also. Well last year, I made the joke of asking "do zombies poop?". Naturally she laughed like crzy and gave me hard time over this constantly and I even trid to call talking dead and they wouldn't put me through to ask.
Now, to my point as im watching talking dead this sunday, from out of no where they ask if zombies pooped. So I immediately just burst into laughter thinking of all the laughs I got out of this with cindy.
Sorry if I rambled a lil bit, but was just something that made me think of her and get a good laugh at a side time and know she would be doing just the same.
