I made several visits to Sunburst Market this past season. Her presence was truly missed but I felt her warm spirit. Aileen had a lovely photo of she and Cynthia on display with that beautiful smile that warmed the heart.

I am so sorry to hear of Cynthia's passing. I loved Cynthia so much. She was always full of energy and love of life. I always looked forward to visiting with her at Sunburst Farms. I will always remember her as being a person of much faith and was so loving when I faced a health issue. She was the life of Sunburst Farms and it will never be the same without her smiling face.

Once I became famaliar with Sunburst Farms, going to shop for fresh vegetables was like going to visit family because of Cyndi's warm smile and beautiful spirit. We would often strike up a conversation about what was being prepared for dinner with those tasty tomatoes, egg plant, and other farm grown items. I would often take time to view the lovely assortment of flowers that captured your eye as you entered the building, where she greeted you and made you feel so welcomed. I thank God that he allowed our souls to meet. What an awesome woman of God! To Bernie, Aileen, and all the family you have my sympathy, love, and prayers.
