To the wonderful, big, beautiful Emerson family, we are so sad to hear of Cynthia’s passing, but happy she is free from that nasty disease. She was the first friend I had in NH some 30 years ago, and her love of family and friends was inspiring. She had a tireless joy that we’ll always remember. Love you all.

Our world is just a little bit less than what it was, when she was with us. Human-kind just took a hit. She was just such a nice person. I shall remember her for the days of my life
