I first met Cynthia at work when I had accessibility questions and needed her expertise!! Cashmere was by her side then and when we would stop to chat he always got "pats". I loved meeting Cynthia in the halls, she was always smiling and it made me happy just to be around her. You are missed Cynthia!!!

My sympathies to Cynthia's family, friends and colleagues. I met her years ago when I worked for the Mass. Commission for the Blind and the assistive technology was not keeping up with the changes in Windows.
Cynthia was faced with the prospect of being unemployable because of this. I was so impressed that she hung in there, and made herself part of the solution for so many people! Rest in peace, Cynthia.

to Cynthia's family - I am so very sorry for your loss. Cynthia was a wonderful person and it is clear that she was loved by her family.
She and I started our friendship in the halls of Iris/IBM, when I stopped to ask her about Cashmere. At first, I used to say "Hi Cynthia, it's Debbie" but after awhile I realized she knew me by voice so I stopped announcing myself. We worked closely together to make the Notes templates more accessible; she was a huge motivator for me to do work hard to make it easier for her and others to use the product.
And she was such a pleasure to know, in both a personal and work relationship - gardening, diets, dogs, and of course accessibility. I was so shocked and saddened by her passing, and will miss her very much.

Cynthia was my older sister--we called her Cindy (because when I was a kid I could not pronounce "Cynthia'). At work she was Cynthia and that was correct because she was nothing if not a warrior.
I just want you all to know how much it means to us (her family) to see how much she meant to you. We are so grateful for all the messages of condolence and support and reports of experiences with her that we never knew.
I confess I am editing this email. I write and delete, write and delete.
Suffice to say this: as a family we are grateful that her death was merciful in that it was without prolonged suffering, many juvenile diabetics (she was diagnosed at 5 years old) are not granted this mercy. We are grateful that she left with an agenda unfinished, she had plans for work, more important she had plans for her garden which she structured on scent throughout the year as the singular priority.
I want you all to know that your contributions to this line are not going unnoticed.
Her memorial service will be Saturday, May 31, 2008. I am writing this on 5/28. Last week somehow I managed to be OK, this week I am not. Last week I didn't remember any dreams (which is completely foreign), this week my dreams are keeping me up at night. You are helping me in a very palpable way.
I thank you all so very much for your attention. In its most essential meaning your communications have confirmed that my sister had an honorable death.
I am so grateful, we are so grateful to you all.
Sincerely,
Amy Ice, MD

I hadn't seen my cousin Cindy in many years, but I will always cherish the fun times we had as kids.
Cindy will be missed by the people that knew her and the many people she helped in her work that never knew what a special person she was.

I worked with Cynthia on Lotus Workplace -- and she taught me so much about accessibility! I liked her very much, and she will be missed.

I worked with Cynthia at Westford, and seeing her and Cashmere at work always brighten my days. Cynthia was an amazing person, she has touched my life. She will be missed.
