I am so sorry to hear of Cindy's death. I worked with her for several years at WCCH and then visited her a few times at Batavia after she went there and we talked about visiting each other the next time she came to Florida. She certainly loved being a wife and mother and was so very proud of her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by many

Cindy and I were in high school together and it is a shock to hear of her passing. It is such a tragedy to have her life cut short. Let's all pray every day to find a cure for cancer in 2012. Prayers go out to her family.

To the family of Cindy Sage, we wish to extend our condolences and hope our prayers will help to heal these sad times. We seldom saw Cindy, because we lived in California. I will always remember, when deer hunting in Wyoming with my father, Cindy and my cousin Roger, would stop by our camper for a visit in the evening and bring maple syrup. May the good lord heal these sad times for the rest of the family.

Although we just met in Syracuse at the Taking The Bench Sessions for new Judge's, it seemed like we had known each other for a lifetime. Cindy was sweet, compassionate and just a very true person. Her smile was contagious. Please know that each of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Cindy Sage I wish to extend my condolences and offer prayers that will help in healing. She was a wonderful wife to my cousin Roger and although I only had a limited amount of visits since we live a distance away I could see what a devoted wife and mother she was. It saddens me to think that her children and grandchildren will be at a loss at this difficult time. May the good Lord bring healing into their lives.

Barb, Will, and Emily Kreutter

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Cindy at Judge's training in Dec. and we immediately hit it off. She obviously loved her family and was so proud of the family business. She brought maple syrup to breakfast every morning - which definitely improved the hotel breakfasts. I am shocked and saddened by the news of her death. Again - I am so sorry.
