Cindy and I both studied graphic design at the University of Florida. I preceded her by a year or two. I knew of her at the time but I don’t think we had met while in Gainesville. Years later I was hired by AOL and knew that Cindy had been there for a few years so I looked her up and found out her desk was nearby. What I learned quickly about Cindy was that she had a huge heart and cared deeply for her friends.
