Poem from brother, Anthony Seals ~ My Sister, Cythia, is Now in God’s Hands

Dear sister, Cynthia, “I loved you” because you always cared. Wisdom is what you always shared. You had a heart for giving while you were living. Your word you spoke with a smile for still in my heart and mind for a long while.

You left a strong legacy, you were always my favorite celebrity, if anyone deserves the memory of life tropher, you do, and this is true, Cynthia as my second momma, I love you! The word “Good-bye” is not what we say. We use words greater like “Love later." 

Poem from sister, Cheryl Seals ~ A Sister's Poem

When will the tears stop falling? When will the emptiness stop echoing. When will the sorrow cease, I cannot answer that, but I know that I will always carry the memories of you with me. 

The memories of our conversations warm my heart. The memories of your heart, the memories of your knowledge and success give me pride and strength. The memories of your humor and laughter are a part of me. Even if I cannot say these things to you, I know you can hear me. There is an empty spot in our family now, but it is filled with the joy, we know you belonged to us. Thank you for the time I had with you. 

Beloved big sister until we meet again.
