I met Cynthia when I lived in Florida. I had bladder cancer in 2008 and found the Bladder cancer web site on the computer. I was so happy when I found Cynthia was from Dalton as I am a native Daltonian. While home on our summer trip we met and had breakfast. She was a lovely lady and I am sorry for your loss
