Me and cynthia didn't get along and butted heads a lot when I lived in Merced. I'm glad I was able to reach out and make amends to her in 2016. 33 is way to young to go...my condolences to her family.

Cynthia was my cousin. She was such a sweet woman and always made me laugh. I will miss her terribly and I will cherish all the memories we have had forever. Love you cousin forever and always. You will be forever missed.

"Call it magic, call it true
I call it magic when I'm with you..."
It was magic, wasn't it? Anyone who ever really spent time around us said it was palpable, the love between us. Those same people would probably say the agony of living without you is also palpable. I know you wouldn't want me crying a single tear for you and I try to be strong the way only you could be, but I miss you baby.I know you are with your brother, which makes me so happy for you two! I will try to stay focused on the good stuff, but either way you were and always will be the love of my life!

Love you to the moon and back little "bean-jean"
