There is not a moment where you do not cross my mind. You and Layla were my best friends in Elementary and in Middle school. One thing I will say is that you always had a smile on your face. There are still moments when I think to myself "how did she do it?!" You never let an obstacle deter you from being in good spirits. Time will continue to pass, but despite the years that go on, I will always say you were one of my biggest inspirations and role models. I miss you always and I hope one day we can meet again.

I was a friend of Cynthia we went to middle school together. Although we were never close friends or even hung out outside of school for some reason Cynthia always pops back in my head every couple of months. I get so sad thinking about her being gone but I always ask myself why does she keep popping back in my head if me and her weren't close? It was her smile. She had a beautiful smile and I only remember her face with a smile on it. It's crazy how powerful her smile was. It was a smile that just let you know what kind of girl she was. She was kind, friendly, warm and loving. I only remember her being kind to everyone in the classroom and to me as well. If her parents are reading this you guys were blessed with a beautiful daughter. May God bless you guys and may her soul rest in peace with God.

Dear Ayala Family: I didn't know Cynthia, but my heart still breaks when I think of her beautiful life, cut short too soon. They say time heals all wounds. I'm not sure time "heals" anything like this. I think over time you learn to live with it. I am glad that you made this guestbook permanent. I know it will comfort your hearts just to know that people have not forgotten her. I am a mother of 2 and a grandmother of 6 and I know how much family means. Please know that at different moments during many days, God is bringing you to people's minds and they are praying for you. May God continue to comfort your hearts and strengthen you with His peace.

Cynthia... Ever since I've learned of your passing I beat myself up every day for not keeping in better touch with you since your move to South Carolina. Saint Joes Hockey Games with you were hilarious, you always had me, along with everyone else laughing and smiling. You really were such a great person. I am definitely going to forever miss you. I can't even believe that something like this happened to you, such an amazing individual. I'll never forget dancing around the Woodbridge community center parking lot blasting cannibal by Ke$ha before the hockey game to get all pumped up. Haha :-P Rest easy angel. <3

This all makes me so sad. We were right up the road from the accident. Moments before it occurred we turned off to do so reminiscing. Moments later the traffic was backed up and police came from every direction. I am so sorry for the loss of Cynthia. Though we didn't know her, and are from an entirely different state, we still feel the pain of this. God bless.
July 23, 2012
To the Ayala Family,
I did not have the opportunity to get to know Cynthia, but I know her mom. Looking at her picture is looking at one of God's Angels. I will continue to pray for the entire family. Keep God in your hearts, and look forward to the promise from God of seeing her again in His Kingdom. The smile on her face is telling you that It Is Well With Her Soul. God bless and keep you all. Love from the bottom of my heart, Shirley Avery-Page

My family and I were at the beach this past weekend and heard about the accident.... We never met but from reading some of the post here in this guest book, I can so tell she was one very beautiful person who was loved by all. God Bless the family and I give you prayers and thoughts knowing that some day you will see your sweet Cynthia again......

Cynthia Ayala was my gran daughter, and it has been so hard for all our family to cope with all of this. But as I read the guest book, I see that not just us, but so many friends and family are feeing just as bad, for that I thank you. People that did not know her were also touch by this tragidy, she is with the Lord now and another angel got her wings. God will give us strengh to carry on, for like my son says, that is what she would have wanted. Thanks to all of you, from a proud granma. We go foward for our two other grandchildren need us.

What a life you've had!
Do you realize how many lives you've touched?
A sweet smile,a tender touch, a spark of joy!
You light the world for those around you.
Your laughter, your compassion for others, your silliness;
love abounds within you!
I've never met anyone who is more loving with no negative words or actions.
All brightness, like the glory of God within you.
You are so loved. Not just by family and friends, but everyone who has the joy of meeting you.
Love shines through you and spills out to each of us.
You are a Blossoming Flower; that's how I will always think of you. it fits you so well, Cynthia.
We will think of you with peace and joy in our hearts.

I never remember a day where Cynthia wasnt happy. Alot of people have their days where they "wake up on the wrong side of the bed" Cnythia never had those days. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face. She knew just how to make my day better just by saying a few words or even smiling at me, hers was contagious. Im so scared to read my yearbook entry from her. We were so close, I'll miss you Cynthia I love you rest easy. <3
