I met Cynthia at Hershey where I am employed. Right off the bat she made
an impression on me because she was so beautiful and very kind. Every time her and her husband came in they made my day. We
always had such nice conversations, though none of them were long enough. I will never forget you Cynthia may you rest with
God. Your strength and love and kindness will always be a blessing to me!

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account
was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in
the life of a child." Cindy was very important in the lives of so many of her students. She was a blessing to all who
knew her. Peace be with her and her family.

I
taught with Cindy at Middle School West. She was a terrific, caring person. The last time I saw Cindy was at the Hershey Medical
Center in the cancer center. I was there with my father. Cindy was there for a check-up but was smiling and very upbeat. On
the surface, you would have never guessed what she was battling on the inside. That was about three years ago. My father passed
away on May 28th also but in 2010. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Brenda Reed _______________
Dear Ron, I have so many fond memories of Cynth--"Miss Greenwood",
Class of 1965. To me, that title embodied her perfectly--great student, great athlete, great musician, great person! That
she went on to touch so many lives as she lived out her Christianity is a tribute to our Lord and Savior for He is the One
who works in us to will and to do His good pleasure. God will carry you through these dark times and someday you will see
your dear Cindy again, whole and perfect.
Love, Cousin Pat (Pat Shenk) _______________
Ron and family!! I was saddened to see Cindy's passing. I have many fond memories of our time
together teaching swimming lessons in Millerstown. We always had such a wonderful time. Cindy was also so supportive to me
when I subbed at CV!! She was very special. God Bless you and family!!!
Rita Benner Eaves ______________
I knew Mrs. Long as an 8th grade gym teacher. She was my mentor and friend during
a very influential time of my life. My best memory was when I said to her one day "Why are you always so happy?"
and her response was..."because God loves me!" I carry that answer with me some 25 years later. Thanks Mrs. Long!!!
Julie (Brymesser) Miller _______________
To Ron; I just

have very fond memories of her as she was an outstanding person. My sympathy and prayers are with you.
