I am so happy that I was able to host Cynthia and family at least once in our Newfoundland home. I hope that Roy and Lesley and family will continue to connect with us and visit when we are there.
Our Newfoundland visits and home will always be filled with memories of Cynthia and her spirit of love and family.
Our very first Christmas was made very special by Cynthia and her entire family. She made sure we had Christmas presents to put under our tree and made sure that we were included in family celebrations and meals. I cherish the gifts she gave us during this time and still use my Newfoundland souvenirs from her fondly.
I still chuckle at her reaction to the gifts I brought her to fend off evil eyes and envy. She proudly wore her protective Italian jewelry and laughed about how she was very envied because we all knew how special she was!
Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Cynthia?
A: Cynthia was a warm and generous person full of personality. She was a great chef and taught me new Newfoundland recipes!
Cynthia was always ready to host whether it was when she had Garry and I over to meet the entire family or when I dropped in with a friend while travelling. She always had a place for us to stay and made us delicious meals!
She was the hostess with the mostest! I will never forget her generosity and her delicious meals. I will also always cherish our late night talks after everyone went to sleep!
This generosity extended to her beautiful daughter Lesley who was also generous in hosting us and I could always see how proud Cynthia was about Lesley!
A: I will never forget that Cynthia always made everyone feel welcome in her home. She was so proud of Newfoundland and was thrilled when we bought a home there.
I remember her and Roy showing up after a long drive to visit us as we had just bought our first house there. Cynthia didn’t tell us she was coming and in our Cynthia style, she showed up with a packed picnic fur all of us!
The first time we met Cynthia was amazing and memorable! She made a point of driving to the RV park in St. John’s to meet us which is the first picture here. Later during that trip we were invited to spend some time with Cynthia and Roy at an RV park they had their beautiful RV at.
We had lots of delicious food cooked up by Cynthia, lots of fun, and lots of good laughs as Cynthia had the best sense of humour! Cynthia also took me shopping for some great Newfoundland souvenirs.
I absolutely loved spending time with Cynthia in Newfoundland and when I was back in Ontario she always messaged me on Facebook or called to check in. Loved her!
