Thoughts
My time with CJ was relatively short compared to others who have written here. But I think of her often because I believe our meeting was divinely orchestrated. How else can you explain us meeting in a state that wasn't associated with our homes. (See my previous story). And finding out that she was the granddaughter of the only woman I would remember from my early church, who sat next to me in Choir, and whom I visited at her home several times. I often share this story of us synchronistic meeting and am sad when I think about CJ's short life. I believe our meeting was no accident. I wish we had more time.

CJ was my doubles partner in Atlanta for years. With her left handedness and quick feet and my right handedness and graceless effort, we were a tough team. She was the most fun to play with, and the best person to have as a friend.
CJ's freaky talent was making the sounds of different fizzy beverages being opened, and the last time I saw her, she was working on her tennis-ball can opening sound.
I miss her and think about her all the time.

Thank you for setting this up, Jennifer. I have been riding my bike a lot during the pandemic. One route takes me through a corner of Piedmont Park. I never enter the park without remembering the puppy shower you held for CJ in the park, and what a beautiful day it was, and how much we all laughed. She was a great model for me in learning how to navigate through life. I look forward to seeing her again. Will T.

I have just learned of CJ's passing. I knew Cindy Joy in college at JMU. We were pretty good friends, in fact. We lived together one summer at the end of our studies. She had enrolled in a dance class (she needed the last few credits to graduate). I remember her joy at discovering many different types of dance, in fact, I think she was most excited about the ballroom dancing. Anyway, I first heard Billy Holliday in her room on her stereo. Some time after we left JMU she came to visit me in Colorado where I had moved. We went to a Red Rocks show together. We lost touch after that but I have thought of her often over the years. I decided to look her up on FB and came to find out that she had died. My impression is that she died of breast cancer but I'm not totally sure as the obituary is not clear on her cause of death. I am so saddened to hear of CJ's having left this earth. I hope that she is dancing somewhere out there. Peace to all who knew Cindy Joy Dorgeloh.
