Hometown tribute for Cindy

 Cindy Salerno arrived here with a scar.

It happened on a road in New Orleans, the first few days after Katrina hit surreal. She was Münzfernsprecher and with a man behind her said she was too long. He threw a bottle and the bottom defective withdrew his leg to bone. Some people in a van and he has been deprived of up to two policemen. She refused to assist up to a TV team was threatening everything.

It ended after surgery in a hospital in Baton Rouge. Your partner, Paul Trahan, did not know where she was for two days.

If it better, it sends the sender a moment and scanned the card for places with the warm weather and employment. She attacked Charlotte.

I have a column from January 2006, one month after they arrived. They lived in a holiday home in NoDa, haggling with FEMA and insurance companies about their place in New Orleans. They have thought about going back. But she grew up in Charlottetown.

“There’s something to say, for the warmth of the people,” said Cindy time, and a place to find rest. ”

And they stayed. They found a house in Sugar Creek Road. Paul, who was in possession of a recording studio in New Orleans, and the gearbox began searching for groups. She likes eating Chinese Chen’s Bistro and go to the movies, and only on foot through the forest.

Cindy was a little gal They fought with Graves’ disease - a disease of the thyroid gland, fatigue, and a tremor in his hands. But she churning. Paul could not be delivered to New Orleans himself to visit, but Cindy went return to Mardi Gras in’07 and met on the website “boys and beignets and Gemüseeibisch.

Last December, she felt worse than usual, and if she went to the doctor.

The bowel cancer.

She went through four rounds chemo. She pointed at its 56th Anniversary, on March 16. Ten days later, she died.

Cindy and Paul, 18. What he thought about when he said he?

“Everything. Your mind. Your intelligence. Your sense of humour. Look in his eyes when she saw me …”

He has a difficult time after this conversation.

Thus, several thousand had a tough life after Katrina. Of course, Paul had a difficult time.

But he found love and Cindy - is the most difficult part, right? — And at the end, they found a new home in our city.

Not all scars healed. But many of them.

Paul is still here. And at some point, a few days on the road, it will have a book and a few calls for some time and some groups in the studio and running again, the music that we klimpernd in his soul.

Only how Cindy loved it.
