She was a wonderful mentor to me at Henry Longfellow. An outstanding teacher and person.
Our “Doll” Cindy will remain in our hearts and minds always. She was a beautiful person and a loving daughter, sister, aunt, cousin & friend. In her long-time illness she remained sunny and bright throughout. Love you Cindy!
Memory Eternal ☦️💟
I will always remember your sense of humor and your kindness…it was an honor working with you at Henry Longfellow…Rest in Peace.
I worked with Cindy almost 20 years ago at Henry Longfellow and she always had a smile and great humor. She was an excellent teacher and a great collegue. She was simply unforgettable with her infectious laughter. I will always remember her that way.
My condolences to the Alusheff family. Cindy was an amazing teacher to work with. Kindness will always be the forefront of my memories of Cindy! Her saying “Good Morning Doll Face” to me always highlighted my day. I will miss you Doll Face! Rest peacefully!
Our odd couple is now missing the better half. I miss you dearly. I’ll check in on Al. May all those that loved you find comfort now you are free from the worldly pain. Enjoy your family reunion, Doll❤️
Cindy was a real inspiration, and an excellent teacher. I taught with her at St. Justin’s’. She was one of the funniest people I knew, and gave us all “code” names when we went out. I’m sure she’s given the angels and some of the saints “code” names already!! I’m sure they’ve led her into Paradise! R.I.P.
My condolences to Cindy’s family and loved ones.
It was my honor and great pleasure to work “ down the hall “ from Cindy at Longfellow and Euclid Park. She always had a smile and a glint in her eye for all students and staff.
So Cindy, if the angels have staff meetings up there , please save me a seat next to you. We can continue our laughter together when I come down the road….
Peace and Love ❤️,
Cathy
