Cynthia was my dearest girlfriend, sister, mother, confidant all rolled into one. I have worked and played with Cynthia for 26 years and cannot imagine my life without her. I had lunch with her the day of her illness and she couldn't have looked more radiant and was so happy, showing off her beautiful grandchildren, while enjoying a hot fudge sundae. I can only hope that she is now in a better place and will be our guardian angel here on earth. Her family and friends were the luckiest people in the world to have had her in our lives.

As a high school classmate, Cynthia was always the life of the party. She was smart, sophicated and downright funny. She will be missed by all who knew her from the class of 1964.
