During Cindy’s two weeks of life, the support team at the Boston Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) made her and her family feel comfortable and loved. The work of the people there is truly a blessing. This page was created to honor Cindy's life, pay tribute to her family, and thank those who helped along the way.  Please consider making a donation to Boston Children's Hospital where all funds will be directly sent back to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 

On September 30th, 2018 Cynthia Sue Deihl-Butterworth was born to parents Amy Butterworth and Timothy Deihl and proud big brother Raymon Deihl-Butterworth. She was soft and sweet and nearly perfect. But an umbilical cord accident had cut the oxygen supply to her brain and baby Cindy was put on life support at Children’s Hospital for the two weeks of her short life.  On October 13th, 2018 she took her last breaths in the arms of her loving parents. 

Although baby Cindy left this earth far too soon, she gave her family and so many others a precious gift - a gentle reminder of the most important things in life.

The name Cynthia means “Bringer of Light”, “Goddess of the Moon”; Cindy Sue will continue to light the way for all of her loved ones, even in the darkest hours.
