Cynthia was such a sweet and friendly person. When we lived in SN no matter where we saw her rather the Freez or elsewhere, she always stopped to talk with us. Even when she was dealing and fighting the cancer, she remembered Mahlon with a beautiful card and her prayers! Sending our heartfelt sympathy to each and everyone.
