I was shocked, saddened, heartbroken and devastated by the news that Cindy Freeman, the membership director for the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce the last three years, passed away on Sunday, August 30, due to complications from treatment for esophageal cancer.
A day or two before Cindy passed, my page 3 editorial in our August 29 edition of Wesley Chapel Neighborhood News included an item about Cindy’s GoFundMe.com/b7z26v5c campaign to help raise money to pay for her treatments. Sadly, the monies raised by that campaign will now be used to pay for her funeral, which will be held on Wed., Sept. 2, 2 p.m. (with visitation from 1 pm-2 pm) at Loyless Funeral Home (5310 Land O’Lakes Blvd.). The family has asked for monetary donations in lieu of flowers to offset the cost of her final arrangements. Checks can be dropped off at the WCCC office (6013 Wesley Grove Blvd., Wesley Chapel 33544).
