When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the center to restrict visitors, Cynthia wasn’t sure if she could physically see the love of her life again."It was horrible for me not being able to see him," she told FOX Television Stations Monday. "We were doing window visits and we were doing FaceTime."That hopelessness led her to apply and take a job in Nov.
