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 words you spoke with a smile 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 trophy, 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” and “Whispered farewell.”

In whispers of sorrow a life was revered, a soul was taken swiftly with love yer unfurled. Gone from our sight through memories won’t fade, a presence cherished in each tribute we’ve made. But though you’ve departed our love will remain, In hearts heavy with loss. Your light will sustain.

Though tears may be shed. We’ll find the solace in time, knowing your spirit lives on, in realm so sublime.
