I was one of the WCU interns whom Cindy launched to a successful career in computer science.  She was a role model, mentor and inspiration to us all.  May the comfort of friends, family and former co-workers be your strength now and in the days ahead.

Very sad to her the news. I was one of the interns Mrs. Barnes mentored at WCU. She truly epitomized everything great about America for me coming to the strange land from India as a student at WCU. She was a wonderful mentor and a great person. I learnt a lot about technology and life in the USA from her. May her soul rest in peace. Sincere heartfelft condolances to her family and friends.

Sad news. No doubt. At least she had an interesting life. I would like to travel a lot, just like her. My first place would be the Destin beaches <a href="https://worldcams.tv/united-states/destin/beaches ">https://worldcams.tv/united-states/destin/beaches </a> because I've always wanted to go there.
