Memories and Condolences
for Cynthia Specha

Not sure what to say?





December 3, 2009

Ken (we met at SMSM's Christmas party) Chris and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family for your lost. I will always remember Cindy for the short time that I have known her. She was a kind and gentle person. Ken, that was your other half, she is not here with you and your family in the physical form, but she will ALWAYS be with you spiritually.

Ken, Kenny and Joy,

We are so sorry for your loss which we just heard about. I will always remember the great times we had in hockey and what a truly wonderful, sweet (an understatement) and humble person she was. I hope you all can hold on to the good memories during this very very difficult time. You are in our prayers. The Hall Family, Debbie, Chris, Kevin & Stephanie.
