Posted on: Thursday, March 1, 2018I met Cynthia at the Sunnidale Dog Park a couple of years ago. Cynthia is an amazing woman. I admired her kindness and strength. I truly enjoyed walking with her and am saddened to hear of her passing.

Posted on: Friday, March 2, 2018I worked with Cynthia at Simcoe Community Services for many years. She worked very closely with numerous clients at the association and I remember always being impressed by the respectful and individual way that she treated everyone. She was a tireless advocate for those individuals she supported and I will always remember her passion.
Cynthia struggled with her illness but showed a very positive attitude and determination to have as many good days as she could. I appreciated Cynthia sharing her journey with me when our paths crossed.
Cynthia was incredibly intelligent too. She had much to share with others. Rest In Peace Cynthia?

Posted on: Friday, March 9, 2018It was always something to look forward to, hoping to see Cynthia at the dog park. I will miss that feeling of “maybe she’ll be there today.” Cynthia was wonderful to walk with – often just a little faster than the others! – and we’d talk about the things we had in common: people we knew, our dogs, our life journeys… Rest in Peace, Cynthia.

Posted on: Friday, March 16, 2018Cynthia had a great appreciation for family, home, and connections with friends. She found joy in her garden and she loved her dogs. Cynthia had a beautiful spirit and I loved our friendship. I miss our long chats, her warm hugs and her lovely laugh. I will think of Cynthia often. Sending love and payers to your family at this difficult time.
