Cyndi was a beautiful and kind co-worker with great sense of humor. She was really very brave throughout her battle. I never missed a chance to meet and spend time with her be it be a pottery night, game night or movie night and I always found her smiling, caring and cheerful. She will remain very inspirational to me. My deep condolences to Jerry and the boys, hope Cyndi's memories will carry them through these difficult times.
