Cynthia Sanders Moss

Cynthia. I shall always remember your thoughtfulness and hospitality.My first trip to California in the summer of 1960 when I stayed with you and Harold for a few days is one of my special memories along with my trip to California in September of 1991. You always made sure that every thing was in order. Of course as many people would also say you always remembered the birthdays and how certain Sanders dates coincided with Elias dates. In fact the last one is Gillian and Dustin's wedding date...

I am so glad that our lives touched eachother. I wish we could have spent more time together. Thank you for being a "mother" to my nephew Larry, who is very special.

As a scared young boy of 20, I moved to California and was fortunate enough to be "adopted" for a short period of time by the Moss's. As a roommate of Randy's, I can't remember a time when she didn't ask how I was doing - a relative stranger. She opened her heart and home to me, and I will forever be grateful to have known her.

I didn't know Mrs. Moss as well as some of those who have shared their thoughts here, but she did leave a lasting and overwhelmingly positive impression on me.

Randy and I were close friends in high school--born on the same day, less than an hour apart, lived around the corner from each other--so I had frequent contact with his Mom. What comes to mind more than anything is her warmth, wit, and compassion. She always expressed a genuine interest in my family, and the loving...

Mommy, we are all going to miss you. I've learned so much from you. I was always amazed as to what you knew and who you knew. Randy and I would joke with you and call you "Ma Boss". The name fit you well. I'll always be grateful for the time we had together and especially grateful for the lives and joy you brought into my life. Thank-you for raising such a wonderful son. Randy is a blessing to me. And, with him came Amanda Lynn...the light of my life and yours AKA "Puchie" who loved you...

Dory, of all the memories of my sister, you brought up one of the best, Turkey brest, I will be waiting for the phone call that they were on sale, it was always buy a couple for the freezer, but Cyn, I don't have room, no problem she would say, come over and I will give you one. Thanks Dory for reminding me. Hugh

Dear Auntie Cyn,

I have retained your voice inside my head; "Badley, what are you doing". That beautiful voice it was and is. I loved our long conversations we had over the years about anything from world politics to your business partners on Ventura Blvd. We loved giving those people hell. I loved giving and getting advice. I want you to know that I saved your voicemail you left for me in April 2006 for my birthday; you NEVER missed one single birthday. What was so amazing...

I called her "moms" and thats exactly what she was to me - a second mother I was lucky enough to have. I've never met another woman who had her fingers on the pulse of everything happening around her. Nothing escaped her awareness of events, health issues, supermarket sales, coupons, etc. You name it, she knew what was going on and had an opinion about it too. She didn't have a formal career with a college degree, but certainly earned her PH.D. in dearly loving & caring for her immediate...

I will always be appreciative of how welcoming and supportive Cynthia was to me. The lasting images I will have of her will be her strength and love of family.
