Cynthia was a graceful , charming and loving wife, mother and grandmother. Even in the last days of her long illness and struggle, Cynthia was still more concerned about others. She was a wonderful and refreshing change from the everyday bustle and hustle. She will be sorely missed by her husband and Richard, Hyacinth, Rosalie and Ingrid as well as by her grandchildren, Omari, Maia, Bryre and Breanna.

To Calvin and family we offer the following quote:

I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I am following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play…
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow.
I wish to you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one touched.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free!!!
