Blessings to the family of Cynthia. I had the privilege of working with her for a short time at Spoken Life and I am saddened at the news of her departure from this earth. She worked hard to encourage and comfort others. I pray you find peace in knowing that. We can rejoice in knowing that she has found rest in the arms of the Father. Love and prayers to you all - especially DJ, whom I met. Know your mother loved and adored you. You make her so proud.
