CINDY MUIR

TRENTON – Cindy Muir died June 13, 2007, after a quick run with ball gladder cancer, thank you Georgie! Her wish is to thank you all for your support and laughter during her only sprint in life. Cindy’s goal in life was one of creation. From quilting, building gardens and homes, to caring for patients. All received the maximum effort from her hands and mind. The Healing Hands Quilters have kept her in stitches these past weeks. This is an amazing group of women that know how to complete a project and then raise money for causes. They are what philanthropy is all about. It has been an honor to sew with them. Thanks to Dysart’s for displaying our quilts and selling raffle tickets too. So folks, be kind to each other and never put off what you can do today. There may be no tomorrow. Cindy’s husband, Ron, died July 18, 2006, and after sorting out all the paperwork of his life, she thought a nice vacation would be in order. This all goes to show you never wait to have fun! Anyhow, leaving people behind is simply horrible. Brian N. Muir of U.S.N.S. – Arctic and Jessica Neely of 19 Swanson Road; Kate Muir a.k.a. “the Princess,” Brooklyn, N.Y., and Ben Muir, Job Corps, Limestone, go Ben, have all been left with no parents for the remainder of their lives. My love for them goes beyond words and without them these times would have been unbearable. They are terrific kids and proof that you can have three totally different children delivered from the same body! Redefining family will become their challenge. This is no easy task, no matter the circumstances. The hope is that they will have fun, paddle, hike and ride bikes in great places, this time without Mom and Dad. Hopefully all the gang will help to buffer their pain over the next few months. Cindy leaves behind her beloved sister, Deb Groff and her honey, Joe Belaeff, they treated her like a queen and always welcomed her into their home; John and Sandy Groff of Apple Valley, Calif., and Dorothy and Frank Groff of Venice, Fla., are left without one more sister and daughter respectively. There will be no funeral, but folks will be putting my ashes in some beautiful places, just ask and I bet they will let you tag-a-long.
