NURSECINDY

I'm saddened to report that Cindy Johnson Kloosterman, known on this blog and the Dave Barry Fans Facebook page as nursecindy, has died. Cindy was a wonderfully warm and caring person and a very talented, funny writer; many of us greatly enjoyed her hilarious posts to the Facebook group, where she was one of the moderators. I hope her family is doing OK. We'll all miss her.
