I always remember two things about Cynthia. The first one is how she described the way she had to teach herself the duties of her first job in HR since no one lent her a hand, and she succeeded! The second was her feistiness - she wouldn't take stuff from anybody! She is missed by many. God bless, Ricardo.

Ricardo and family:

Sadly, I only just learned of Cynthia's passing. She was my co-worker in Pittsburgh, we traveled together to give training in Greenville and I will always think of her when I make her crab mousse recipe she shared with me. She is gone much too soon and will be deeply missed. She was a great lady, co-worker and friend.

Cynthia was a very good person to work with. She selflessly gave herself to the Postal Service and to all who worked with her. The world just lost a great woman. My sincere sympathy to Ricardo and his children and grandchildren.
