Cynthia was such a great lady and dear friend. She was a wonderful person to work with. Imagine our surprise when we first met and realized we were both from Augusta and had a place on the lake about 100 yards from each other! I pray the Lord sustains you during this time and in the difficult time to come. I know Cynthia is watching over each of you and I know she's at the lake drowning some worms!

I will remember Cynthia for her strong work ethic, warm spirit and affiant compassion for the warriors in the field! I am TRULY grateful and blessed to have known such a wonderful person, she was 1/3 of the reason why I moved to Warner Robins! Rest in peace Cynthia, you have earned your place in Heaven.

Cynthia was such a fine lady who loved her family so much. She will surely be missed by all who knew her. Even though I worked with her for only a few years, I gained so much knowledge from her and will always remember that she was such a special person. I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Thank you all for your prayers during this hard time. We are taking it one day at a time. It is hard but we will pull through. She is an angel now, with her mother and father. We are grateful that her battle with cancer and her pain is finally over. She was sustained by her faith and the support of her friends and family. She is with God now and I know he will take good care of her. I know one day we will all be together again.
