Described by Dr. Mike Eichenhorn, a mentor and close friend, as a "giving, generous spirit," Dr. Ray was considered a consummate caregiver-capable, caring and committed.
Dr. Eichenhorn elaborated: "It would have been impossible for Cyndi to pass by the car that overturned because that's the kind of person she was. She was always there to help others. At her bedside, she had visitors from all walks of life who she had helped through difficult situations. She embodied selflessness."
