Cynthia Zonia Calderon Gonzales

Happy New Year my sister!!!!!! I miss you!!!!!! ?

Psalm 116:15
"Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones."

Cindy was definitely one of His godly ones--i.e. a SAINT.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Cynthia ! I know she was a dear friend to our mother/ mother n law ! Lynda Elmandouh

Gonzales Family, I am so sorry for your loss.
I only met Cynthia one time, but felt I had known her for years. She had such a presence. Her dedication to family and community was unmatched and she will certainly be missed by all.

Cynthia was a great inspiration to me. I met her through my mother when my mom was involved in the neighborhood and mother's in touch. They became great friends and under her leadership my mom was part of her neighborhood crime watch. The passion she had for helping others always showed. She has inspired me to continue how she did helping others and being a great neighbor. The meals she brought to our house will never be forgotten. :)

Cynthia Gonzales was a dedicated worker and a loyal friend. She always wanted to give people presents when none were expected. What she didn't realize was that just her being here was all the present we needed. Rest in peace.

Cynthia was a friend and servant to all. She was a lady of great faith. She is now with the greatest servant of them all. - Condolences for your loss.

I was so saddened to hear of Cynthia's passing through a mutual friend of ours. I met Cynthia many years ago when we both worked at SMT in Laredo. We became good friends and I always admired her poise. She was a person that had big goals and by what I have read she definitely accomplished quite a bit. I don't even remember when we lost touch, but nevertheless I am very saddened. My condolences to her husband and son. She was a good person.

RIP Dear Sweet Sister
YSIC - Charlene

All my condolences go out to you and yours for we had a great loss, God Bless .

My condolences Ed for your family's loss.

Cindy was such a caring, giving person. It's no wonder that so many people have expressed this in their condolences. I'm not sure if she ever met someone who she felt needed help and didn't respond. I was privileged to be her friend; I know I will miss her.

Dear Ed,

I was unable to get with you last night when I visited the funeral home. Cindy must have been loved by many because the sanctuary where the service was being held was already full when I arrived and more folks just kept coming. We all feel your family's loss. Perhaps no other person is more important than the one we choose to share our life's experiences and for you that was your beloved Cindy. Rest assured that she is smiling down on you and Alex, waiting for you to rejoin her someday. All the while I am sure she will remain a precious part of your memories and of your heart.

Ed, I wanted to extend my condolenses.
My prayer is that God will comfort you and your son in this time of loss.

I am sorry for your loss, Ed.

Dear Ed and Alex, I only knew Cindy for a short 6 months when she teamed up with our Free to Breathe committee and raised thousands of dollars for her team and the cause of defeating lung cancer. In that short span of time, she left a lasting impression on me. I remember trying to call or text to offer her support or let her know I was praying for her, but she always found a way to bless me far beyond what she could have known. She had such a deep, abiding faith in God and she taught me by example the true meaning of trusting in God, leaning on God and believing in God's will. She wrote me and sent me a picture of your family and I literally prayed for her every day whenever God caused her to cross my mind. I gave her the devotional book, Jesus Calling, and she told me she loved the fact that she knew we were both reading it daily so in that way, it was as if we were praying together. On the Oct 14th entry, it says, "Bearing your circumstances bravely--even thanking Me for them--is one of the highest forms of praise." I believe she demonstrated that more than anyone I have ever known. Alex, please know that she always loved to talk about you and her greatest hope was to attend your graduation. Ed, you were a rock for her and you were there for her, keeping her comforted and secure. I will miss her so much and I can assure you that I truly wish I had known her longer. God truly took one of this earth's most precious saints when He called her home.

Dear Ed and Alex - how much love you all shared when we would see you at the club together, treasuring each other and we were blessed by you all. Cynthia ~ a beautiful and brave person and grateful to have met her, though too few times. Our hearts go out to you
Pax et amore

My deepest condolences to you and your loved ones.My prayers are with you and your family ~ Carlos Castillo, UT Southwestern Medical Center

My condolences to Ed, Alex, and your family. Cynthia was such a dedicated person in everything she undertook. We are blessed to have known and worked in the community with her in Midland. May she rest in peace! God bless you!

Eddie and Alex,

My heart is heavy tonight to hear about Cynthia. While we met only last April through the Free To Breathe Organization, Cynthia and I spent over an hour on the phone laughing, crying, sharing deep thoughts, our families, health remedies, spiritual sharing and our sense of humor too! She was a strong woman and loved her family so much! She gave her all and I am honored to be able to meet her. Eddie you are wonderful too! We all marveled at your gentle spirit during the Free To Breathe meeting dinner and at the Event in May. You were a strong tower for her. Alex, she adored you. She told me what a great young man and how proud she was of you. She was looking forward to your upcoming graduation from Texas Tech (Both of my daughters graduated from Tech) Your family will be in my prayers and know that I feel so honored to know Cynthia. She will certainly be missed. We need to keep the fight to beat this disease!

I met Cynthia at a Neighborhood Networking Event in September of 2010. She offered to help me with setting up a Crime Watch program in my neighborhood. I still have prior emails from her and she truly made a lasting impression on me, even though I only met her one time. Such a generous, helpful lady with a smile one cannot forget. It was truly a pleasure to have met her and share communications with her. God bless her family.

Sometimes the most beautifully radiant flowers are picked from the garden of life much too soon...God has His reasons that we just don't understand...as mysterious as His ways are, His love is as unquestionable as it is unconditional...Cynthia, you radiated love and life in all directions and touched so many people in so many ways. You will be missed, but never forgotten. You will continue to inspire us all with your courage and generosity.

Cynthia, your memory is something many, myself included, will cherish for the rest of their lives and countless will experience the glory of even if they never know your name. The innumerable lives you touched with your warm and loving smile and the delicate care you put into ever interaction throughout your day was the stuff of Royalty. God held you throughout your life in the center of his heart -- a place you freely shared with everyone you met. Compassion overflowed every part of your being and was always a reminder that God is here, he is holy, and he loves us. Thank you for being the best example of what love and justice can and should be in this life. Blessings to Ed, Alex and your family.

Sweet and brave Cynthia, you will always be a part of our ACTS sisterhood. May you rest in peace, healed. Be our angel watching over us.

One would not meet a more generous, sincere and truly grateful person than Cynthia Gonzales. She approached every community project, every personal challenge with everything she had to give. She was and is an inspiration to those she touched. It is with a heavy heart that I bid her farewell. She is in the presence of our Lord and Saviour.

My deepest sympathy to Eduardo and Alex. Cynthia was a beautiful lady, whose spirit and kindness touched many people, and I am grateful to have met her and visited with her at Browning Oil.

During her valiant fight to beat cancer, she inspired many people and gave others hope and encouragement. She will be missed, but I know God has a new special tenant in Heaven with her arrival.

May God's peace and love be with her and her family.

Sweet Cynthia - May you find the beauty that you shared with us on earth also in Heaven! We will remember your heart! Love You Sister! Peggy Scott

My Dearest Cousin, Cynthia. It is with Great sadness and a heavy heart , that I bid you Good bye. The memories of us growing up together I will hold always in my heart and forever.

Rest in peace knowing that you were loved and appreciated by all who met you. You are now an angel of God watching over all us. REST IN PEACE in Jesus name our Lord. Amen.

We feel so privilaged to have had Cynthia in our lives. She brought to this world her incredible desire to help everyone she met. She will be greatly missed by everyone she touched. She was a great role model, and a giving and loving mother and wife. Good bye for now my dearest friend. We will remember and miss you always. You are at peace now. May God give peace to Ed and Alex.

Cynthia, your Light, Love and Spirit touched the lives of so many. You have deeply touched my heart and will always be remembered for your Care and Compassion. Wishing you Love and Gratitude, the most beautiful water crystal.

Cynthia is an example of always thinking of how to make the world a better place.
Her warmth, graciousness, determination contributed greatly to our parent group.
We are blessed by having known her.

What a remarkable, beautiful, brave & loving young woman was Cynthia. She brightened the world with her gifts of prayer & insight into all with whom she came in contact. I was blessed to have known this amazingly gifted & spiritual lady. My heart goes out to her family in their loss.

Gonzales Family - especially Ed and Alex. Thank you so much for including the photo tribute. It is so helpful in the grieving process to have the slide show. Cynthia was such a fibrant individual who lived life to the fullest. I have worked with her on many causes and projects. She always wanted to make a difference. She touched so many lives in so many ways that you would never expect. We have lost a person who was vital to our neighborhood and to our city. She definitely walks the streets of gold today.

It was a privilege knowing Cynthia. Very kind and helpful. May God rest her soul

What a wonderful woman you are Cynthia. You brought so much to this earth and truly did God's work while walking on this soil. I can only imagine the reception you will have at His feet. Love you girl. See you on the other side.

I first met Cynthia through her son Alex when he was a young boy. My prayers are with her family at this sad time. May light perpetual shine upon Cynthia and may The Lord provide peace to her husband, son and family.

Cynthia was an outstanding person, always willing to help others, excelling in so many ways, and showed that her beauty came from within. She spent her life making a difference to others, and will be missed every day. I was lucky to have been able to work with her and to have had her as my friend. May your warm memories bring comfort to all that knew her.

Dearest Cindy - you were a light to so many. May your sweet heart live forever in those you have touched. You have left a legacy of love and everyone who was lucky enough to meet you is the better for it. You will be dearly missed and always remembered. Love love love, Joey , Linda , Ciara, and Gloria Peña ,

Cynthia touched more lives than she will ever know. Her generosity and kindness will be returned to her eternally. I feel privileged to have worked with her and be able to call her my friend. Be at peace, at last.

My prayers and words of comfort to Eduardo and Alex. I had the honor of knowing this lovely woman for close to 30 years. Her determination, professionalism, loyalty and love of life come to mind, but it was her faith and trust in God's will what made her strong in times of adversity. Thanks dear friend for your sincere friendship and 'ejemplo de vida'.

Cindy,gracias por tu preciosa amistad de verdad que te voy a extra

You were an angel on earth. God be with you, Cynthia. We will miss you.

Cynthia you're smile and gracious ability to help others will be missed. Your gift was lending and hand to those in need and you are receiving your eternal reward. There will never be another Cynthia.

We will miss your kindness,your wonderful laughter and sense of humor.

Ed and Alex we are saddened by the loss of your wife and mother. We will continue to lift you in prayer that you will be surrounded with peace and strength during this time.
