The comments about Cynthia reinforce what we knew already: that she made a impact on people at all stages of her life.<br /><br />EltonElton Higgsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146805.post-87013979648783581892010-03-01T19:00:44.421-08:002010-03-01T19:00:44.421-08:00What a nice tribute, Heather!

Yo...You did an amazing job at the service, Heather. You read her sister's words with such great feeling and expression. I was so very proud of you. I sat there wishing I knew Cynthia more, but I so enjoyed hearing of how her life turned to Christ. Praying for all of you who are hurting and grieving for her. Praying especially for her sweet daughter.Lisa Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13021391831104878479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146805.post-30654116178178022172010-02-26T07:54:13.414-08:002010-02-26T07:54:13.414-08:00This makes me admire you even more if that is poss...This makes me admire you even more if that is possible. Your friend's life of running away and adjusting to foster homes and you still holding her friendship. We are all so different and yet the same. I am sure you have many more feelings to work through and sounds like you have begun to do just that with the visit to the basement classroom and this photo. Hugs to you and I pray that the peace Cyndi is experiencing now can reach out to you.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146805.post-75881870219760942562010-02-26T03:17:24.783-08:002010-02-26T03:17:24.783-08:00I am so sorry for your loss!

Those words always sound trite and hollow and not enough to fill the void losing a loved one causes.<br /><br />She was lucky to be loved by so many.

I told her I was sorry and then she proceeded to tell the story ... how it was her daughter's friend's biological mom and how her daughter's friend had been adopted by her grandparents and how the friend's biological mom had moved to Jackson and I stopped her mid-sentence to ask if it was Cyndi Higgs? <br />She then asked how I knew Cyndi and I told her how I had gone to high school with her and how I had her baby shower for Rachel at my house. It was a surreal moment.<br /> I had no idea that Cyndi had passed away, but I never would have imagined that this mom who I barely know would tell me the news. <br />It really is a small world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146805.post-76400156413163958622010-02-25T17:39:27.584-08:002010-02-25T17:39:27.584-08:00I miss her too.

And I'm angry on her behalf, although I think she was past that by now. <br /><br />I'm angry at myself for losing touch with her.<br /><br />And I remember her intense stare...she could look right at you with a smile on her face and not say anything and never feel uncomfortable about it. I remember her encouraging me to stand up to my Dad and her exasperation with me when I wouldn't do it. <br /><br />Damn that Hungtington's!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
