She enjoyed watching baseball, particularly the Cubs, as well as many years spent attending all of her childrens activities and sporting events. Travelling in Europe as a college student sparked a love of exploration in Cindy and she especially treasured taking trips with her husband and kids.

The Fight family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. John Migas and the staff of the Community Cancer Center as well as to Dr. Bose and the staff at the Siteman Cancer Center at Washington University, St. Louis. While Cindys years were far shorter than any of us would like, it can never be said that she didnt live a full, beautiful life.
