I was greatly saddened to hear about Cyndy's passing. She was a wonderful person and a good friend. My favorite memories of her are from a trip to New York we took together for work. She was a fun, funny, smart and caring person. It was my privilege to know her and I will miss her.

I was saddened to hear about Cindy's passing. There are those people whom you haven't worked with for more than a decade, whom you haven't seen for years, but whom you recall fondly and with a smile. Cindy was that kind of person: a great, funny, smart, genuine, and sensitive woman.

My condolences.
