Cynthia Gundersen-Regan would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call on July, 28 2015 at her residence, an offer she couldn't refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with her parents Robert and Catherine Huggins, her husband Jim Gundersen, grandson Baby Jimmy, a lot of family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Job security is exactly 110 percent. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, shopping and holiday decorating to her hearts content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. She left detailed instructions for her husband Richard Regan, children and many grandchildren to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated. The family wants everyone to know she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. We will remember her smile, her laughter and her compassion. Cindy had an enormous love for family, friends and life. She made a difference in the lives of many. Private viewing for immediate family will be held Friday, July 31, 2015 from 5pm-6:30pm and the family invites you to join them from 6:30pm-8pm, Hansen Desert Hills Chapel, 6500 E. Bell Rd., Scottsdale to visit with her together. The celebration for her new journey will begin for family and friends at 1pm on Saturday, August 1, 2015 and her farewell events begin promptly at 2pm, Hansen Desert Hills Chapel, not to say good bye but to wish her the best of luck until we see her again.

"Its been 3 years grandma, 3 years without my bestfriend, 3 years without my other half.. I really need you, i need my guider, I need my guardian angel right now. Im going through a really really hard time and i don't have the chance to call you and tell you whats been going on, I don't have someone to tell me everything's going to be okay. I'm sorry i haven't come to see you. i will soon though i promise. I'm getting myself back together and i'm trying to fix my mistakes grandma. I miss your smile and laugh, I miss the nights, Weekends, Weeks i spent with you at your house. I love you and i hope you have something good in my future for me, Because i need closer, N i'm praying everything will be ok with Zach and i. Please don't stop watching over me"
"Wow.. Almost 4 years.. 4 long years that you have been gone.. Its been awhile since i've filled you in but i know at times you're by my side watching over me and trying to tell me right from wrong.. Wow. 4 years and it still feels like i'm gonna see you or get a phone call asking how i am or calling me and telling me what a wonderful young lady i'm becoming... I miss my cooking buddy... i miss my movie buddy.. Grandma if only you were here to see some of the things that were going on with the family.. i know you'll always be the angel by my side.. It sucks not having you here. when i got my first job i was so excited to come see and tell you all about it and look at the bright big smile on your face with your beautiful laugh.. I'm gonna be 17 here soon.. I would do anything in this world to hold you again or just hear your voice.. i love you so much.. I need my bestfriend backk.. 4 years and it doesn't feel real what so ever :("
"omg grandma I don't know what to do anymore each day goes by and I have so many problems that I don't have my bestfriend to talk about and get me thru them, not a day goes by that I don't think about your my angel and I'm still trying to accept that your still gone after almost 2 years. I wish that you didn't leave me but everything happens for a reason. If I can hear your voice one more time and see you one more time I would drop everything just for that wish. I don't know what to do when I need you the most to get thru my problems I hope your having fun up there I love and miss you so much 8/10/1954-7/28/2015"
"Missing you more then words could ever express! I love you Mommmmmm"
"i miss you grandma ......... Your gone and i feel like ur gonna come bck but you arent"
"Hi grandma, miss you! Love you so much! I\'m sad you are no longer here on earth but happy you are free! Free from the pain and struggles. You fought one heck of a battle... You won! Your home now, to the streets of gold you belong. I love you so much. See you again someday. Tell everyone I love them. In a circle NEVER ending.:)"
"Dear Cindy, remember when we left your aunts house and told you we had to pick-up our marriage license at city hall. i will never forget your look of wishful thinking. but i tried."
"My sympathy for the loss of your true love."
"My dearest friend, you are gone too soon, there were things we planned to do when all the kids were grown, like Mexico beach, going to California to see the Hollywood sign and of course to Vegas to play the nickle slots. Everyday life kept us apart, but we sure did make up for it with our 2 hour phone calls. Sorry sweetie, I just couldn\'t get out there for your funeral, I know you made me promise I would come, but your with me, you know how things are. There are things that were just between you and I and I\'m sorry we couldn\'t make those things happen. You don\'t know how many times a day I think, I need to call Cindy about this and see what she thinks. We are just atoms and you just made the energy in this world a lot more positive. Love you, you were my best friend for 36 years and you will be missed."
"Goodbye Cindy! I\'ll always love and miss your craziness!! I was there when it all started! When you first met my brother Augie! You were 16 or 17 and I was 2 years younger and you made me take you to his ex-girlfriend Mary Scarpino\'s house so you can kick her ass! LOL! I laughed but I convinced you Augie loves you now and confronting Mary would be of no good to anyone. 3 beautiful children later? And the rest is history!! My other enjoyable memory was when you, Augie, myself, and baby Tina (what a beautiful baby my niece was!) went to West Orange to shop. Augie was holding Tina in the drivers seat, I jumped in the passenger side from the back and you were outside the car asking Augie for some money to go in this store u liked. He pulls out a huge wad of cash to give you some and you grabbed the whole thing and ran! Augie was powerless cause he had Tina in his arms! I laughed so hard I had tears!! The look on Augie\'s face and the slick funny move by you! I can see it right now like it happened yesterday!! lol! I love you Cindy! And please give my love to everyone up there! Tell them we\'ll all be back together someday!"
"I love you mom! I can\'t believe you are gone. You brought so much joy, love and laughter. You were always there. Especially when Missie and I needed you. Always telling us it will all work out. You are truly missed and I know you are watching over all your loved ones. You will always be my my heart."
"Sis, So much to say and no time to say it in, but you knew, even though we didn\'t say in much lately you knew. Even though I didn\'t see much of you lately, you knew. No matter what occured between us you have always known. I do not have to even say or write it now because you know, but I will I LOVE YOU, SIS and thanks"
"Cynthia, dear Cynthia, now you are home, say hello to my mommy for me. I have so many great memories when you and your family lived here in Westminster Ca.
