    Cindy Wiggins Tapia, Our Admin.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
