I think of you often, especially today. You have been missed by your family, some were too young to remember meeting you.

Cindy. You were my cousin, and I lost the opportunity to spend more time with you, and enjoy the company of your beautiful self. Although I met you later in life, I was immediately drawn to you by your big, infectious laughter and loving, genuine self. You made me feel as though we'd known each other very well, all along. I think of you and mourn our family's great loss. Cheryl

I think about you every day, and I can still hear you laughing. We shared alot of good times, and helped each other through the bad ones. I miss you and will always have you in my heart.

Cindy was what every human being should be.

I think about you everyday cindy...it may sound strange but every now and then I can still smell the scent of your house and it comforts me and lets me know that you are ok. I love you so much and will miss you forever.

I knew Cindy in my late teens early 20's from Montreal, QC. We both attended the Motherhouse. She was a spunky person with a desire to overachieve at whatever she did. She was a wonderful person who's life was cut too short. I think of her often and still cannot believe that she was 'there' that day. I do have a lot of wonderful memories of her that I can look back on, but still wish she was here 'today'.

God bless,

Colleen

Many times I wondered where Cindy had gone and how she was doing. Cindy and I were very good friends in high school along with a group of friends that shared good times and bad. Cindy was one of those people that was never satisfied with her marks in school, 80's and 90's were not good enough for her and you know she always did do better than that. I remember her as the little girl with the big heart. We affectionately used to call her PUTT PUTT.

I was so sorry to hear of her passing. She will always hold a special place in my heart and memories.

Love you and miss you PUTT PUTT.

One never knows what to say

when someone you love has passed away

One never knows what to do

when a friend has been taken from you

One never knows what to feel

when death another life does steal

One never knows one never knows

when memories of you bring a life to close

A Good Friend

September 11, 2003

Cindy was one of the happiest people I've ever met. She had the most infectous laugh I've ever known, I can still hear it to this day. She was easy to talk to whether it be about her cat or dog, her husband or just to hear a good joke from. She always had kind things to say about her coworkers, who I feel like I 've met before because she painted them in such a wonderful light. Two years ago, I lost a friend I thought I would have for the rest of my life. She never saw my prom pictures after helping me spend time picking my dress. I wasnt able to spend time with her at Christmas we always did, nor could we all enjoy those quirky emails from that day on. Today, I will remember Cindy, think of of her and have some comfort knowing she is looking down on all of us, giving us that little push it takes to smile when we are down. She lived her life always looking to the brighter side of things, and that it what we should all try to do for her. I love you, we all love you. xoxox

I only heard that Cindy was in the twin towers on about June 25/03 from my brother Warren. I was deeply shocked and saddend to hear of her passing. I hung out alot with Cindy during our days at Rosemont High. Many times she and a group of other freinds would walk to my house in St. Micheal to have lunch. I last saw Cindy about 10 years ago when some people were moving into the flat above mine and I heard this very loud laugh ( that's what I remember most about her ) and low and behold there was Cindy. Some people were put on this earth to spread joy, that was Cindy. I love you and miss you.

I 'de like to give my condolences to Cindy's family and to all her close friends. I knew her from high school and actually graduated the same year I think. We were kinda sweethearts for a little while and have always had fond memories of her for her sweetness and caring towards others. She was a bundle of joy back in those years, i'm sure she hadn't changed much since then.

I'm truly shocked to hear this news. Puts all this terrorist mumbojumbo into a different perspective.

Take care.

Hello,

My deepest sympathies to Cindy's family and friends. I knew her sister Diane more than Cindy herself. My memories go way back in Nesbitt School (Rosemont District - Montreal) when we were just little kids.. She was even smaller back then if you can believe it :).. and that's what I remember most about the short freckled curly haired sister of Diane. I was shocked when I saw her photo in the newspaper several days after this terrible event.. as were some friends and neighbors who also remember her from Nesbitt School. We only knew her at the start of her life, I'm so sorry it ended so tragic... but memories are long lasting and in a way that is a tribute to her and they will last forever in the hearts and minds of those who passed through her life.

We walked and talked in the days of High School The news of this was tragic, even more so when we heard that our Cindy was taken. You will be remembered.

And United we stand as friends, a Nation, and Humanity against evil in our world so our children will be sheltered!

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

I attended Rosemount High School in Montreal during the 70's. I was extremely sorry to hear that a fellow student was a victim of the worst acts of violence and terror in our lifetime. I did not know Cynthia Connolly personally, however I am sure that I must have passed her countless times in the hallways of Rosemount High, enjoying our youth and living life in a peaceful and happy way.

To her family and friends, I offer my sincerest sympathy for your loss.

Words can never express the enormity of this tragedy and the loss of so many innocent victims.

So there it is ..... a name. A town and state .... "Cynthia L. Connolly, Metuchen, NJ". No other information, no other tributes to her here. I am honored to be the first.

I have never met Cynthia Connolly or her family. I have so many questions to ask about her. Was she married? Does she have children? Are her parents alive ... borthers ... sisters ... spouse? Did she like animals and have any pets? Did she have a happy childhood and did she graduate from high school with lots of friends or was she shy and kept to herself? Who is this woman ... ? So many questions.

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Cynthia Connolly. I know she did not live in a vacuum .... as John donne has said ..."no man is an island" .. it applies to all of us. Why does this extension of sympathies and condolences come from me, a complete stranger? Because I hurt. Because we are all hurting. Every one of us. We have all lost thousands of brothers and sisters and husbands and wives and children and friends in this tragedy. I reach out and offer Cynthia's family and friends my shoulders both for them to cry on and to support them. I did not loose my wife, my brother, my sister, my child, my friend .... no one at all that was close to me at all. Yet I have lost 5,000 kin that I now feel extreemely close to. I feel such great pain, such great hurt, even now in early Novemeber - I can't imagine the pain and grief and hurt and sense of loss that Cynthia's family and friends are experiencing. Let me have some of your pain because I can handle some more on your behalf.

Cynthia was my mother, my sister, my daughter, my friend, ..... my fellow American and fellow human. She did not deserve to die as she did. It is not fair and it is not humane and I am very hurt and very angry over this. Because I hurt so very much and because my pain is very deep ... I reach out to the family and friends of Cynthia to let them know that they are not alone. Cynthia was a good woman and she will be missed. God bless all of you that hold her close and dear in your memory.
