Timothy and Matthew, Can't find the words I want to say to you guys. I lost my mom on December 17th, 23 years ago. So young to lose our mom, just like you. Cindy was like a ray of sunshine, beautiful eyes and smile. The most nicest person anyone could ever meet. Great neighbors for 20+ years. You guys were her life - - I could tell that the first time I meet her. Praying for you both (and family) that God will comfort you every single minute and your sorrow will turn to happy memories. Love you guys. Love Vickie, Billy and family.

Peggy and Family, Words cannot express how saddened we all are at the loss of Cynthia. When I think of her I see the picture my mom has of her, my brother and myself sitting on the steps of the porch in Daleville. She never changed. Always had that smile on her face. So sorry she had to endure all that she did however she can rest now. With love, Carol

It was so sad to see this. I remember Cindy during Lord Botetourt days - cheering and classes. Cindy was one of those students you remember with fond memories.

Peggy my heart breaks for your loss. You know that I loved Cindy and she was such a huge part of my teen memories...all the fun we had with you and your family. I am so sorry we lost touch and I was not aware of her illness. I know you find peace knowing she is in the presence of Jesus and I will be praying for you and all of her family. She was a very special person and loved by all who knew her. I remember the day this picture was taken! She was always so beautiful inside and out.
Love in Christ,

Dear Peggy and Family,
I will never forget Cynthia's million dollar smile and her twinkling eyes. She had that special way of making you feel like you were the only person in the room. She radiated warmth and caring. She was always the cousin who came up and spoke to me no matter where we were. I thought the world of her. I cannot imagine what you all are going through, but I have prayed that God would comfort and strengthen you with the peace that only He can give. May God bless you and your family. We love you.

As pastor during Cynthia's teen years, I appreciated her energetic presence. Visiting her after she became bedfast, I appreciated her emotional energy and charm. May God bless you family members with joy for your years of sharing in the life of Cynthia.
