She was a wonderul example of a Godly woman full of faith and the joy of the Lord even through her illness. She was a proverbs 31 woman. She taught her children the ways of God and they are all serving God and will continue the legacy. She will be missed by all that knew her.But she lives on in our hearts and memories. We will see her again.

Mom Shurbert March 1, 2010
My beloved daughter, God is Good. As I sit here looking at your picture many thoughts rush through my head- as the nurse handed you to me I had this wonderful feeling of love for you, you were the most beautiful baby and of course the first touch of your little hand with Dad's- well you had stolen his heart. How proud he was of you. I remember when you were about two, standing in front of us with your hands on your hips, toe tapping "explaining"to us why you had taken Sue's baby doll sweater off her doll to put on your cat. I remember in your fourteenth year you read the "Switch and the Crossblade" resulting in your deep and abiding love for Jesus Christ. Never faltering or compermizing in your walk in the Christian faith. Each one of your five children can say you were a wonderful godly Mom. Rest in peace my darling daughter, you are with your blessed Jesus. Mom

Steve and Diane Johnson March 1, 2010

Dr. Lobel I am so sorry for your loss....you and your family are in my thoughts at this sad time.

Debbie Gardner March 1, 2010
I didn't know Cindy personally but I know Bob because I have been his patient. I know what a godly dr he is and how he loves his family but I was praying for her as a fellow believer. I will continue to pray for you Bob and your family as you mourn the loss of your wife... Sincerely In Christ 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Ellen and Jay Morgenstern March 1, 2010

Emer Taylor March 2, 2010
I remember my first week teaching at The Albany Academies. Cynthia talked to me on the phone, welcomed me, and told me about her upcoming trip to visit Dublin. At that time I was a new teacher at the school and had only just lived in Albany for a little over a month. I was in a brand new country with a new job. She made me feel welcome, invited me to her home and was very interested in learning about my home country. She was a wonderful, warm, caring woman and will be sorely missed. I had the pleasure of teaching her youngest son Peter math for a number of years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. The Taylor Family

Arjun March 2, 2010
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Lobel, but i do know here son Peter. Since children are reflections of their parents, it is immediately apparent that she was a truly amazing person, and I regret that we never got the chance to meet. My thoughts go out to her family.

Hans and Lea Helmerich March 2, 2010
Bob and family, We are saddened by the loss of Cindy.Lea and I (as well as Isaac) have so many fond memories of the early years in Hanover and Tulsa. Cindy was such a devoted wife, mother, and friend and a faithful witness for the Kingdom. May God's grace comfort you in this sad time.

The Lewicki Family March 2, 2010
To the Lobels we send our love. We are carrying you in our prayers, asking for His Holy Spirit to be palpable in your lives now and in the days ahead. I will miss Cindy. I know she is now in our cloud of witnesses cheering us on and hope that you are all comforted by each other, and by the Holy Spirit.

Jill Rabin March 2, 2010
May G-d be with you and the children, Bob, as I know He is with Cindy. Much love, Jill Rabin and family

Caroline van Dissel March 2, 2010
I first met Cindy briefly in Atlanta when I was staying with my Aunt and Uncle (Bob's parents). Next time was much later in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where my uncle had a big birthday celebration. At this time I really got to know Cindy more and when I was with them for Jonathan and Lisa's wedding a couple of years ago, I found her to a be very inspiring and loving woman. The experience of this trip to Chicago and Albany, gave me an amazing insight to this wonderful family, we had a lot of fun. I will keep these fantastic memories of Cindy forever.

Matt and Annie Grove March 2, 2010
Cindy and her family hosted me as a young married woman while I was a student in Albany. As much as I thought Cindy was sort of a second mother to me, she insisted that our relationship be one of friends (she has enough daughters!). I learned so much from her about life, and family, sacrifice and perspective. I would have wished, as do we all, for many more years of learning and sharing with Cindy. I will miss her greatly, but our family will always hold Cindy and all the Lobels as very important and a special part of our lives. Praise the Lord for every bit of hope and peace, may it abound more and more in the coming days and years.

Sarah Chalk March 2, 2010

Linda Stewart March 2, 2010
Beautiful on the outside and on the inside and I'm sure in the eyes of the Lord also.

Dad and Claire March 2, 2010
Bob's mother,Beata,and I first met Cindy when we picked up Bob at his residence in Hanover, NH, to go skiing at Killington when Cindy appeared from an adjacent house. We also met Cindy's mother at that time. Beata and I were impressed with the love Bob and Cindy had for each other and were thrilled to welcome Cindy as our daughter in law. Several years after Beata's death, I married Claire, who fully embraced Cindy and Bob with love. We found Cindy to be a very warm, loving and inspiring woman and are grateful that her marriage with Bob has been blessed with five wonderful children who we adore. Being a grandfather to them has turned out to be an exciting experience. Rest in peace, darling Cindy. We will always honor your presence in our lives, and we will keep your memory alive in our hearts. We have, and always will, treasure you.

Katie Conroy March 2, 2010

Joanie Gove Marcotte March 3, 2010
Cindy was such a special person. I knew her when I was a sophomore in high school, she was a wonderful mentor and friend. We went to Ireland together with the high school band. I will always remember her in a red band uniform, playing her piccolo, "Stars and Stripes Forever", as we marched down the streets of Dublin. When I learned I would marry into the Coutermarsh family, I was so thrilled to think that Cindy and I would be related! :-) My prayers go out to her family and friends, she will be missed.

Bill Pahl March 3, 2010
Cindy was always a great encourager, example and friend to me. She was always hospitable and a great mother. Her children are a testimony to that. I'll miss her tremendously and rejoice in her godly legacy. Even our 30 year friendship was too short. May God comfort and care for those of us remaining here until we are all reunited with Jesus. Much love. Bill

Rick Treacy March 3, 2010
Cindy loved God, her family and her church family. To Bob and children, my heartfelt condolences as we grieve the loss of Cindy in our lives. We celebrate the pleasure of knowing her here on earth and the life she lived. We look forward to seeing Cindy again when we leave this earth and join her in the arms of Jesus. May God Bless you, Rick Treacy

Dear Bob, Mine and Anne's love and prayers are with you and your family. I am so sorry about the loss of your dear friend and wife Cyndy, and the mother of all your beautiful children. It seems like only yesterday we were in a room together asking God for a knowledge of His will for our lives("Knowing The Will Of God", right?)She was,or more truthfully, is a beautiful person and we long to see her again shortly. Anne and I enjoyed getting to know you and your family during our time at Light Of The World. Our little Josh is now 17 and 6'2". Is it possible? I notice your kids are in many parts of the world! You and your family will remain in our prayers and thoughts. Love, Dave and Anne Usher

Dear Lobel Family, please accept my condolences at this time of your sorrow. I met Cindy in high school. She will be missed greatly! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kim McInturff March 4, 2010
I'm fighting tears right now because I loved Cindy so much! She was so kind to me during our homeschool days together in AZ. I taught some of her kids P.E. and she made me a sweet memory book to thank me for teaching. I know it took a lot of time of which she didn't have much extra! My girls, Mindi and Hayley babysat for her periodically and we enjoyed being in a health food co-op together for several years. After she moved to New York she always told me she looked forward to my Christmas newsletter and would set aside time to enjoy a bubblebath while reading it. I felt so humbled by that! She always encouraged me to keep my eyes on Jesus! Now she is seeing Him face to face! I look forward to the day I get to be with her again! My love and prayers go out to her precious family who are an incredible testimony of her devotion to them and to her Savior!

David and Eileen Cunis March 4, 2010
We haven't seen Cindy for several years, but our last visit remains in my mind. Peter was still a little boy, and she shared with me what a great joy he was to her and Bob! The love in her face was like a light; I could not get over the openness of her heart and the abundance of her gratitude for her family and her Lord. What a tremendous loss for her family and all who knew her; and how thankful we are that she is now with her sweet Jesus.

Barbara Richmond March 4, 2010
I only met Cindy once. Cindy graciously gave our granddaughter a wonderful shower for her wedding last year.It was a great party. You felt you knew Cindy for ages. I am so glad I had a chance to meet Cindy. It felt like you knew Cindy all your life.

Kurt Fuqua March 4, 2010
Cindy is a wonderful Christian woman who brought blessings to our family.

Kristan Gottmann March 5, 2010
I never met Cindy but I have had the pleasure of teaching her daughter Erica dance for the past 2 years. Since children are a reflection of their parents, Cindy must have been a truly wonderful women. My thoughts and prayers are with you Erica and your family at this difficult time.

Annie McCune March 8, 2010
We were away all last week and have been grieving with you this week. Cindy's smile and gentleness, her warmth, her love have been flashing though my mind for the last several days. I remember her as a young nurse, a new bride, new mom, a mom of fellow Dartmouth students. the last time I saw her she was in her kitchen in NY offering hospitality Cindy style, gracious and relaxed. She will be remembered, loved and missed.

Rod and Susan Chandler March 9, 2010
We only met Cindy and the rest of the Lobel family during the weekend of Lisa and Johnny's wedding 2 years ago, but we were impressed by what a warm and loving family they are and what fun they had together. Our hearts go out to Johnny and Lisa and the rest of the family at this time. Our thoughts and payers are with you.

Mitesh and Ina March 10, 2010

Dr Michael & Debbie Sheridan & Family March 11, 2010
We, unfortunately, never had the great privilege of knowing Cindy Lobel... our relationship is through Dr Robert Lobel... YET, we feel his tremendous and sudden loss and offer our prayers and support to him and to his entire family... Cindy was just a year older than my wife Debbie, who was dx with Breast Cancer 13 years ago... ( a fight I continue annually with great support from Dr Lobel!!) so I know the daily fear and concern... but I do not know, nor can pretend to know, the tremendous loss felt by her family with Cindy's death. Cut down when life was still so precious and full of vigor...but we will never know the why? Please know of our love, support and prayers, albeit from a distance, for your terrible loss... Michael & Debbie Sheridan, Chris & Connor Sheridan, Colleen (Sheridan) & Chuck Dumblkewski and children

Tom and Kathy DiMezza March 13, 2010
Bob and family, Our deepest condolences and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family. It is hard sometimes to find words that will heal the heart, but knowing that Cindy was at peace with the Lord is comforting enough that eternal life will treat her well. Cherish in your hearts all the good memories and Cindy will always be by your side. May God be with you and your family at this time of sorrow and may Cindy rest in peace forever. God Bless all of you.

Bea Hansen RN March 15, 2010
