I have known Cynthia for many many years and I adored her and my husband did brick work for her years ago. I last saw her when she lived off Wrightsville Ave and she had had a head injury. I did speak to her more recently and not sure if she remembered me. I know she is teaching a yoga class in heaven!!! Hugs to her wonderful family.
