Cynthia grew up with her 5 sisters and cousins at her grandma Ethel’s house in Big Bend, SD. She enjoyed being outside, loved exploring new things, being curious and showing everyone how unique her personality is. Cynthia loved rainbows, mermaids and especially unicorns. She was adored by her grandma Ethel as she is the namesake of the Howe family. There are no words to describe just how different and pure her soul was. The world wasn’t ready for her unique personality, her mom believes that why she was taken way too soon.
