Melanie Wilhelm Dunaway is a third generation of the Wilhelm family to serve in the funeral business and created Advent based on a simple philosophy – It’s about your needs. Not ours.
We will all miss you, Cindy, but we know one day we will se you again! Save me a place!
My sincere condolences to the Cofer family. She was a terrific person and will be dearly missed. My prayers are with you for healing at this time.
Cindy, you fought the good fight. But God needed you in heaven more than we needed you here on earth – maybe to take care of the precious angel children who have gone before their time. What a comfort it will be to their mothers to know you are there with them! You will be missed.
Dearest Frank, Morgan, Erica and Colleen,
Our hearts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time!
As you know, she was a wonderful Mother and Wife, but she was also a dear friend to us and she will be missed immensely! God Bless You All!
Love you so much,
Eddie, Penny, Khrystina and Anthony

Dearest Frank, I am so very sorry for your loss. We are all thinking about you and praying for you and your family. When you are able to breathe again you can find peace in knowing she is no longer suffering, she is free, and she will always be with you in spirit. My prayer for you, “May God’s glorious light bless you when the darkness is overwhelming. May God’s presence fill every part of you and comfort you when you’re missing her, and may God’s love remind you that you are never alone. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.”
Thank you for always being such a great inspiration and demonstration of faith for me during my cancer journey. Love, Michelle, Jason, Kaleb & Jacob Thrasher
Cindy, what an honor it was for me and all your classmates in Duncanville to have known you. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day and I know your memory will continue to enrich the lives of those you have touched. I’ll always cherish these past two years, having had the chance to reconnect with you and see what a genuinely funny, caring and selfless person you were. I’m sure God has reserved a special place for you in Heaven. I hope that someday, I’ll once again have a chance to see your beautiful smile. May the peace and grace of God be bestowed upon your family.

Patti and I are so sad for your loss. I recall meeting Cindy as well as the girls several years years ago when staying overnight at your house after a business dinner, and she was such a pleasure and positive person. Patti and I have been thinking of your family and kept you in our prayers. I know from the web site she was thinking of her family first dispite her own condition. God bless you.

Dear Frank, Morgan, Erica and Colleen,
Cindy tenderly cared for my little girl Sofije in Kids Quest at Mclean Bible.
I was so sad to hear she passed away. Our family mourns with you. Cindy was faithful and fun to serve with in Kids Quest. She knew exactly how to tame a wiggly group of 3 year olds, and planted plenty of spiritual seeds into little lives. I hold the hope of meeting her once again, as you all do.
May God’s mercies bouy your hearts each morning,
Leslie Johnston
We were so sorry to hear that Cindy is no longer with us. She touched so many lives, and our son, Benji, will never forget her from the yellow class at St. Francis Creche. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. We will miss you, Cindy!!
