Jon,
I lost touch with your mother decades ago. I never was able to find her until today. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing.
I was Cindy's sister-in-law in the 1970's. My fondest memories are of the two of us ice skating at Bosley Park in Chicago and she and I teaming up for a snowball fight with the "A-Team Brothers" (our husbands!) I miss her very much. My prayers are with you and your family always.

Jon,
My deepest sympathy to you. I worked with your Mom for many years at Standard. Cynthia was someone special. She had a good heart, she spoke her mind, and she had a wonderful sense of humor that kept us all laughing. We will all miss her very much.

Cynthia & I worked many years for the same company and we often took our coffee breaks together. We could make each other laugh until our eyes watered! That is what I shall remember most fondly of Cynthia.

Jon, I am very sad to hear of your Mom's death. Although we haven't spoken in quite some time, she and you were often in my thoughts. She was a very kind and generous person who I'm sure will be missed.
