April 2, 2021 at 2:19 pmDear Kellys, I just found Cyndi’s obituary today when I was looking her up in advance of a visit back to Cincinnati where I lived for two years. She was such a wonderful friend and brilliantly intelligent person. Some of you may recall our families were close for a short time. My name then was Nancy Larson and my children are Jamie, Reid and Erik. I think fondly of our time together and I’m so sorry about the loss of your wonderful mom and wife.
Nancy Fowler says
April 3, 2021 at 3:14 amI apologize for spelling her name wrong. Of course it is Cindi.
