I Love Cindy... I hate cancer.


My sweet cousin, Cindy, was diagnosed with cancer last August. She continues to fight this disease with incredible courage...

My most fond memories of Cindy go back to when we were children. The Easter trips to Capitol Reef, the trips to Burrville on Christmas to see what the cousins got from Santa, the sleepovers, the family home evenings that we met in Fish Lake, the many fun trips to see my Burrville cousins... Those were good times! When I think of those times, I remember Cindy like the "Cindy" in the "Brady Bunch"! She was the most beautiful little blond girl! True to the Cindy I grew up with, she has fought this fight with determination, with gratitude for the good days, with incredible faith, with optimism, with great courage and with the support of many wonderful friends and a loving family.
Love you, Cindy.

My heart broke again as I looked at our sweet Cindy. Oh the pain of feeling helpless and unable to help her heal. I continue to pray for the Lord's mercy upon her and the rest who suffer in her suffering. We love you, Cindy
There is an antithesis to Cindy's pain - it is the beauty of seeing life and the happiness life can bring. Faun is able to capture that beauty - to keep it forever beautiful. We love you, too, Faun

Cindy is my cousin and I haven't seen her forever. Love the pictures and yes, hate the cancer. Beautiful pictures and beautiful family. I am Quenten Taylor's youngest daughter. So so sorry. Will keep you in our prayers. Lost a precious Granddaughter almost 2 years ago, a mother should not be looking at the mortality of a child. Big hugs to all of my family members in this blog. Beautiful people. Lots of love coming from California!!

Faun,
There's a lot of emotion in your pictures. I see it especially in the one of Cindy and her mother. Wow. Good for you for not just going for the smiles. I think the family will see their whole story in these pictures.
