My condolences to the family. God definitely gained a beautiful Angel. Mrs. Cynthia or mama which I called her had a heart of pure gold, it’s almost as if I could hear her right now talking to me. I’m really gonna miss her but I will Never Forget her because she made a place in my ❤️.
I met Cynthia a few months ago and was warmed by her kindness and cheerful demeanor.
She talked of her son Michael was so very proud of him.
II am saddened by her passing and I send my condolences to Michael, Jade, and all of her family, friends, and neighbors.
She lives in our hearts forever.
Lord, hear our prayer.
What an impact Mama Brown had on us all. I only knew her a short time but her cheerful personality shined through immediately. Her love for what she was doing and for her son Michael was very evident. She spoke of him often during our talks. You touched a lot of people Mama Brown. You will be greatly missed!!
