Cindy Wiggins Tapia, Our Admin.

[pkstracy]

Our FAD admin passed away on June 6, 2023. She was born June 10, 1956. She was a writer, I do mean a good one good, her words flowed like a river and having read some of her stuff , it made me feel like I was right there. She has one book published and was working on another one at the time of her death. She was also a devout Christian, who could be sweet and sassy just like a Southern Lady should be. She was a huge Brandon Lee Fan. Cindy it won't be the same without you around here..you'll be missed a lot.

That is very sad to hear. Last post was May 30th. RIP

[Mansfield67]

This is so sad. I am going to miss her wit and her wisdom, she was a wonderful Admin. RIP Cindy and God Bless.

[RiaBrown]

This one's for you, Cindy. *raises Diet Coke*

["What Tha....?"]

Diet Coke from me too, Ria. Things that I will always remember about Cindy:
Her devotion to God. Her love for Harry, the dog. Her love for Sissy and all her nieces and nephews. Her awesome writing and blogs about Buford. I will miss her.

[Leasie]

She did love that dog! She will be missed.

[lulubaines]

Oh no. I loved her. RIP Cindy..

[JimC]

Godspeed, young lady.

[Shellie]

It's upsetting to hear that. It's sad we won't see her comments anymore and friendly reminders to be nice.

[pkstracy]

I agree Shellc.

[artymorty]

I remember her talking about her dog Harry , and how she missed him .I hope she's with him now and with her daughter .Didn't Cindy have heart problems previously ? I will miss her being on the site and still feel shocked .RIP Cindy XXX

[pkstracy]

Arty, I am not sure, I think so.

["What Tha....?"]

Saw a TV show last night on the VICE channel. It's called "(Re)solved" and it re-examines the deaths of celebrities. Last night's episode was about the death of Brandon Lee. How I wish Cindy was still alive, so she could see it.

I saw an advert for it and Cindy was the first thing I thought of. My dad was a huge fan of Bruce so we talked about them a few times over the years. Fingers crossed, she might bump into him up there as I'm sure she would love that.

[pkstracy]

I would like to think she is up there chatting away with him.

[Mansfield67]

And enjoying her favorite foods!

[pkstracy]

And enjoying her favorite foods!

Yes that too and admining from up there as well.

[theotherlondon]

Sad to hear about her death.

[bustakita]

I am just seeing this post unfortunately. RIP CindyT. You will most certainly be missed. I was actually missing her reminder posts around these parts. 😢😢😢

[pkstracy]

Thinking of you today, Cindy and wishing you were still with us.

[Aries65]

Did anyone ever find out what her cause of death was?

[pkstracy]

Aries no, I know she had been ill with covid and got over it but got long covid, she had other health issues.

[Mansfield67]

I think of her whenever I sign in, but she will always be with us in spirit and that's a good thing.

[pkstracy]

Mansfield, Yeah I think of her often and keep hoping I would see the little green online dot by her name. I miss her a lot around here.

[Tony Trout]

I'm just now reading this and I'm so.....shocked!!!!! May you rest in peace, CindyT, and I hope to see you someday in Heaven when it comes my time to leave this world.

We here at the FAD forum will always miss you and will always remember you!! We love you!

[Synny]

I'm shocked as well!!! I had no idea!!! She was one of the first people I became friends with on here and we would talk alot in messages and she'd call me out on my bs. I was wondering why I hadn't seen her login. I don't even know what to say right now.. rip Cindy..

[pkstracy]

It was hard for me too, Synny, She passed on the sixth of June and my mom passed on the 29th so I lost a friend and my mom all in the same month.

She was among my first friends here too. And one of only two I've met here that I trusted enough with my cell number. I have dozens on my Facebook, but only two got my number. She will always be missed. I can try to fill her shoes and tell people to be nice, but I know I'm not the same.

I think of her every time I sign in. You will be great Ria, just be you!

[ShyLurker]

Wow, this just...stuns me. I lurk, but I have been here for ages. May Cindy rest in eternal peace.

[sierrarose]

Very sorry to hear of this

[pkstracy]

Thinking of you today can't believe its been a year

["What Tha....?"]

A year? Really? Still think of her everytime I log on here. And sometimes when I think of what I want for dinner! Still miss you Cindy.

[Mansfield67]

Every time I log in I think of her, especially "What's For Dinner 2Nite?". Very much missed with her wisdom and humour.

[I ♥ Tiny Tim]

I'm sad to know she passed away. I never had any beef with her... She was always nice to me. I will miss her. May she rest in peace.

[JimC]

I miss Cindy.
I took a break from posting here for a while, and was really thinking about coming back just to tell her that I had sort of "turned a corner" faith-wise.
Raised a Christian, I went through a long period of questioning and started calling myself an agnostic. After a while, I started thinking myself an atheist.
For no particular reason that I can name, I sort of came full circle, and I was thinking about coming back just to tell her about my change because I knew she would like hearing about that. But she was gone before I could do it.

I'm sorry you didn't get to tell her. But if it helps, she's smiling down and happy for you. I am, too!

[pkstracy]

Jim, she knows..yes a year already hard to believe Manfield

[Mansfield67]

Jim, she knows..yes a year already hard to believe Manfield

I'm not the most religious person but I do like to think she is keeping an eye on all of us. That always makes me feel better.

[pkstracy]

Same Mansfield

[RiaBrown]

I can't believe it's been a year. I think of her every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke or post my dinner in the What's For Dinner thread. Only two FAD members have ever had my phone number. One was Cindy. The other is PK. A dozen or so others have access to me via Facebook. Cindy was in the middle of writing a book with a main character who has dissociative identity disorder (DID), and she was talking with me about it because I have it, too. I explained what causes it, how it develops, and how everyone who has it has it differently. I was going to be mentioned in it as her source.
