With much sadness at the passing of my beloved niece Cynthia I would like to share some memories of her.
As a teenager she became seriously interested in her dream of having a horse.. Eventually I became involved in making this possible. After several years of her talent and hard work she entered her horse Rafferty in Arabian Shows in MB. where he was awarded first place ranking...in their first year they achieved highest ranking in their category...these results have been included in the American Horse registry ! Rafferty continued as Cynthia's riding horse for many wonderful years till his retirement . Cynthia was was very involved in Art History and graduated with a Master's Degree in Art History...successfully defending her thesis titled
Quilting as a form of Art....she continued her love and skill in quilting and enjoyed her involvement with the Victoria Quilting Guild. .Many of us have been the delighted recipient of her exquisite workmanship!. Cynthia was a a great cook and baker. ....we looked
forward to delicious dining in her home or her visits with her oversized basket of goodies when she visited ..Cynthia and John loved dogs and cats which they found in Rescue shelters, many a cat or dog had a caring home with them over the years....I remember one cat that had been in the shelter for 8 years having another 8 years in their home,....Cynthia and John have spent much time and energy developing their awesome gardens on their park-like setting which attract many varieties and species of birds...
my deepest sympathy to John ,their son Chris and daughter -in law Monika. I wish you Cynthia and love you forever.
