I am so sorry to hear about Cynthia. I graduated Newberry High School with her and did not get to see very much of her after that. She was a dear sweet lady. My deepest sympathy to her family.

To all who gather to remember Cynthia today, thank you. Cynthia was truly a unique person who went through life's ups and downs with an almost child-like innocence that belied her strength. I will remember her kindnesses and her imaginative viewpoints with a smile and wish her the ease and peace she didn't always get in this life. With love, Candace and my family in Maui

I was shocked to hear of Cynthia's death. Her spirit lives on in my everyday life. She made my father very happy in his last years. He loved her dearly. She was always a positive force in their marriage. Thank you dear Cynthia. They supported each other emotionally. I will remember all the good that she accomplished in her life struggling the whole way. I know all those struggles are gone and peace is with her. Rest always peaceably Cynthia.
