Sadness at her loss is replaced by knowing Cynthia is no longer suffering, back in the arms of her true love, and as always, smiling. I am blessed to have been her friend. My condolances to her family.

My dear friends, I do want to extend my condolences to you and your family. I knew Cynthia while she was a patient at ECMCF. I also knew some of the family. I must say I enjoyed working with her and each of you. I know you had some difficult situations & decisions that you were making. I was just thinking about Cynthia today and asked if we had heard how she was doing. I know the last several months were a struggle for her. May you all have a stronghold among yourselves and know God is rejoicing with her. I send my thoughts and prayers to you. Blessings and peace be with you all. Will miss you Cynthia!
