Tributes
"The angels had better know the difference between 'bring' and 'take.' CR was an amazing editor and teacher who enjoyed both jobs. She was firm and kind, with a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge. It was my privilege to have helped her over some of the rough spots in her life. She was a great presence as a mother, 'Moremom,' friend and journalist; she will be missed by so many. Deborah Cushman"
"Our deepest sympathy to Cynthia's Dear Family. We were so fortunate to know such a remarkable woman. Hope the Angels have brushed up on their vocabulary. We have many wonderful memories with our cherished friend Cynthia and we are grateful. The Wood Family"
