Cynthia Mendelson

I was in Mrs. M's 4th grade glass at Converse in the 1960s. (I remember when Andrew came along!). I had a rough patch in my family about that time and I have never forgotten her incredible kindness and support. She was a remarkable woman. I am in my 60s now, and I have thought of her, with gratitude, at least every few months since that year. I became a writer in large part because she praised and helped build on those early efforts. Rest in peace, Dear Cynthia. --Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett

Andrew and Jenny - I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a kind and lovely woman, willing to put up with all of us neighborhood kids cutting through your back yard. Both of you and your dad are in my thoughts during this sad time.

Dear Aaron and family,

We wish to express our most sincere condolences to you at this sorrowful time.
We you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Aaron; Karen and I are so sorry to learn of Cyndy's passing. We are very sad that we will be unable to attend her service on Friday, as we have out of town guests arriving that day. Cyndy was a terrific woman and always ready for fun. She made everyone happy. And you were such an excellent caregiver in her last years. Cyndy and I were friends at Colby in the 50's, but only saw each other infrequently over the next 40 years. But that all changed in 2000 as we both owned properties in...

Lots of happy memories with the Mendelson family. ..Holyoke...Cape Cod ...New Years with old friends and Wenham with the Crocketts. our thoughts are with you and with Susan and Nancy. Connie and Dick Gourdeau

Dear Mendelson Family
I was a student in Cindy's 4 grade class in 1965 when she came back from England. It was such a special time because we were influenced by the British Rock invasion (Beatles) and Cindy's wonderful British accent. That year I was repeating 4th grade and Cindy was so inspirational & gentile with my education. She was my super hero and my parents were so grateful. All the students & parents loved Cindy.
My sincerest sympathies

Laura Broad

You and Cyndi are in our thoughts and prayers.
