Dear Court, My sincere condolences on the loss of Cynthia. I cannot believe my friend of more than 55 years has passed away. Cynthia had many gifts and talents, but one of the strongest and best was her ability to keep and maintain friendships. She was kind, generous, thoughtful and considerate. Always ready with a helpful suggestion, an offering of something she'd just baked, a phone call to share news or just keep in touch. Her creativity was limitless and ran from the gamut from making ginger bread houses, to doing theatrical makeup, to all things musical. I once saw her casually tear apart a very lovely (and expensive) white silk dress to re-do it and make it better for her - and when she was finished, it was! May her memory forever be a blessing.
