Dawn & Jason Morris and family wrote a sympathy message

“We had the joy of knowing Cynthia through our careers. I looked up to her in countless ways. Some fond memories we have are of dinner on our back deck in Atlanta, mass together on sales trips, her joyful banter with my husband, her love of the chiefs, her love of her nieces, travel excursions together, her record sales at Durkan, her endless smile, wit, and energy. We will miss her dearly. The Lord danced for joy when he opened the gates for our Cynthia... May she rest in peace.”

Natalie Neff wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Cynthia Diane Katafiasz, My family knew Cynthia for 30 years. She was always full of spunk and energy like no other, one of the reasons she was such an icon and friend to all. I personally reconnected with her upon my return to Durkan 5 years ago. My fiance', Tim and I had the pleasure of sharing cocktails in San Diego and again in NY with her and Kane. She was one of the first reps that I shared the news of my engagement last June. Please accept our deepest condolences.”
