Victoria MANUEL Lester
November 2, 2020
My name is Victoria MANUEL) Lester from Columbus, GA. Cynthia REESE Turner and I were born and raised on 38th Street in Columbus, GA. ALthough she was 5 years older than me, she and my brother George Manuel were closer in age and our families were raised in the same church; Greater Beallwood Baptist Church. We both graduated from Spencer High School. I did not learn of her departure until roughly a couple of weeks ago when I was conversing with a younger family member of here's VIA facebook. So happen, I asked how was Cyn Reese as we so affectionately called her at home and it was at that time that her family shared with me that Cyn had passed
Ironically, I ran into Cyn at South DeKalb in Decatur, GA a few years back. Prior to that, I had seen her since probably the late 60s or the early 70s. Anyway, I approached her and asked "are you Cyn Reese " Immediatelt she gave me the most biggest BEAUTIFUL smile which was her trademark. She said "you must be from Columbus, GA because no one up here calls me Cyn Reese. I acknowledged yes and told her who I was and when I said Victoria she finished my sentence and said MANUEL right; which is my maiden name. We hugged and she asked about my family members and exchanged phone numbers. I left feeling really great because I found her to be the same down home person I knew from home. Seemingly, we talked once over the phone. If I remember correctly, I called her and we chatted briefly
When I learned she had passed it was so unbelievable but real nonetheless. What I learned from this experience is "we just never know when our time on earth is complete.

When someone we love falls asleep in death the memories we have of them become our treasure. May those cherished memories of a life well lived and God's promise at John 6:40 bring you a measure of comfort. My condolences to the family.
