Unfortunately I have never met Cynthia however I am a new member of the Rachels Circle and I have seen the sadness that had come over the hearts of the other members during Cynthia's illness. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cynthia's family, friends, and her sisters at Salem. I wish I could have met her as everyone always spoke so kindly of her. Now she is the Angel of Rachels Circle and forever she will watch over us.

Cindy was a wonderful person loved by all that knew her. She was so giving of herself to others. When her mother-in-law (my aunt) got sick she helped her to write a letter to me and I was ever so appreciative of the fact that she took her time to do this. She has always been so nice whenever we would see her at the family reunions to all of us. This has been a terrible shock to all of us and she will most certainly be missed by all. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
