My deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Sunderlin. I have fond memories of her as a teachers aid at Temple Hill School. My self and my 2 brothers were students from 1970-1978. Mrs. Sunderlin was a kind and caring woman.

To All of Cynthia's Family,
I worked with Cynthia for so many years and had so much respect for her, but I wasn't alone--we all did at Temple Hill.
My thoughts are with you all.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your Mother. She was loved by all and cared for each of you deeply. Her compassion for others showed both in her volunteer work as well as "adopting" kids like me into your home any time day or night! I know you will miss her and hope and pray that God's love will surround you and sustain you through this difficult time.
