Cynthia Madrigal
(1959-2021)
It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Cynthia Madrigal. Strong in faith and belief in tradition, Cindy dedicated herself to serve families in the funeral industry for over 20 years. She was a licensed funeral director and for the past 8 years has given her immeasurable time and faithful service to the families of the Catholic Cemeteries of Chicago. Her footprint will forever remain, and her laughter shall echo throughout our Cemeteries. She will truly be missed. She now joins her mother, father, and all those departed whose lives she touched.
Eternal rest grant unto Cindy, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her and grant her your mercy, light and peace. We pray with heavy hearts, that as we have loved her in this life, we return her back to you, O Lord, for you are the source of life and love itself.
We ask you to grant to Cindy the joy of ever lasting peace and rest with you, and all the angels and saints in heaven. And until we all happily meet again in heaven...
Lord, please hold us tenderly in the palm of your hand.
