I met Cyndy when I was an employee at MCPS. She quickly became a friend rather than just a coworker. Cyndy was the type to always lend a hand where help was needed and an ear when you needed someone to listen. Cyndy....you will be missed but definitely not forgotten. Sending prayers to the family.

I am so sad to learn that my friend Cyndy has passed away. She was a pleasure to work with and although we were in touch after her retirement, it has been several months since we have communicated so I had no idea she was sick. I am heartbroken. I I will always remember her, and I will think about her every time I drive to Buffalo and pass by the Pok-a-Dot restaurant, or when I hear Bonnie Raitt. My sincere condolences to her family - I know she loved her grandchildren and all of her family so much! Rest in peace, dear friend.
