thoughts of infinity and beyond

shared by Ria R. Inciong, her aunt

Three presents from Cindy stick out in my mind. The first is the set of Baby Looney Tunes pillows that she made for Zoe. I decorated Zoe's room with Baby Looney Tunes decal. In a very typical Cindy mode, she thoughtfully and creatively made four small pillows to match the decor.

The second one is the license plate frame that she gave me and Tito Randy. We bought an Infiniti I30 around the same time when Toy Story was released. Leave it to Cindy to have a license plate frame personalized for us to say "To Infinity and Beyond!" True to her character, she couldn't get herself to not spell the word 'infinity' correctly despite the fact that the car is spelled differently.

The third and most precious gift is the Blue's Clue's plate set, complete with a placemat, utensils, and mug, for Zoe. She and Linh gave the set for Zoe to use at Blythe. We still have most of the set; in fact, Teo enjoys using the little mug.

We still have all three of these presents. As you can see, each one is quite thoughtful and very personal. But that was Cindy. She gave always from the heart and always with the sole purpose of bringing joy to the recipient.
