To the Johnson Family,

Words cannot express how shocked and sorry we are for your great loss. We met Cynthia only once, but she impressed us as a kind and gentle person. I remember thinking how lucky our nephew Jeffrey was to be getting her as his mother-in-law. It is good that Cynthia and Stephanie got to spend some time with each other in the last week. I wish there was something more we could do or say to help ease your pain. May the coming year bring only good things along with God’s blessings.

There are not enough words to express my sorrow for you. Just know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of all your friends. I count you as a good friend and colleague. With prayers for your comfort and consolation, knowing that God's love surrounds you, especially now,

Please accept my deepest sympathies on your sudden, tragic loss. Cynthia & I were "manicure friends," having met while waiting for our nails to dry during our weekly manicure.
We continued to enjoy each other's company every week. From those weekly visits I knew Cynthia as lively, charming, beautiful & intelligent, a great teacher, devoted wife & mother. . . a great loss to many, I'm sure. . . And to me.

Dear Chris and girls,
I am Sue Nord's sister and my family here in Iowa and in Louisiana want to express our sympathy. Cynthia was such a great person and the friendship
you have with Sue and Larry meant she could touch our lives as well.
Blessings to each of you.

I have many fond memories of Cynthia. For as long as I can remember, Cynthia came over to the house to spend time with Susie (Nord)and to visit and talk with Ernie and Margie. She always took time to talk with me as well. I will miss her as will all the family. Our prayers are with you in this time of sadness. (nephew of Sue Nord)

Dear Chris and Family:

Please accept our deepest sympathies on your sudden loss. I know how hard this is for you and the girls to lose someone so suddenly.

Chris, I never met Cynthia but I like to think that some of her must have rubbed off on you because you are truly a great friend and colleague. Plus,you both know (like we do) that the Gulf Coast of Florida has the best beaches and sunsets!

Please know that we are all thinking about you and the girls and praying for all of you. You are all in our hearts.
