    Cindy Elkin Passed Away

    Just heard that Cynthia Elkin passed away in Virginia on Friday. Some of you may remember Cindy, and her late husband Jim, as being very active in a number of opticianry organizations, both on state and national levels. My condolences to her children and families. Cindy was a CEC speaker, writer, and opticianry activist.

    When I heard about her on Thursday, she was on life support. Her choice was to ensure that even her organs could continue to help someone else. She was a very benevolent person and did a lot of mission trips. Her smile was so genuine and she will be missed by so many. I do know that her funeral is tomorrow.
    I met her when we were on the speakers bureau with VICA, now Vision Council. She was so classy. I will miss her.

    Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
