I was shocked and saddened upon seeing Cynthia's name appear on this page.
Although I can't recall a lot about her while we were in school, I got to know her in recent years through my Mom.
I saw Cynthia several months ago while I was visiting my Mom and she and I talked about life in general, the "curb balls" we are thrown, and how we always seem to make it through. She even mentioned some health issues she was having but she was very up beat and optimistic about the outcome.
Cynthia and I had talked a number of times over the last few years and no matter what was going on in her life at the time she was always so positive.
It was through those conversations that I saw what a kind, humble, and sweet spirit that she had and it is remembering these great qualities in her that I mourn her passing.
I was shocked and sadden to Cynthia on this page. I remember her as such a sweet person and I remember her with Blind they were inseparable in Mckinley. God has called one of his angels back home. May she rest in peace
It also sadden me to see Cynthia's name here. She was always so nice to me in Tech and I will miss her not being at the reunion bu I know her spirit will be there. God needed her to have a better view of the festivities.
It has also saddened my heart to learn that Cynthia had passed. Although I have not seen her since we walked out of McKinley's doors... just to know that someone my age with whom I spent so many formidable years (at Langley and Tech) is no longer here... is difficult. She had a nickname in Langley, "Grandma" -- but you know ... her personality was just that way ... always sweet and kind ... upbeat and silly ... no matter what!
On the flip side, it again makes me that much more appreciative of the life that God has allowed me to live ... I am anxiously looking forward to all of our reunion activities... to spend whatever time remains with those whom He allows to cross my path... again ... even after 30+ years!
Cynthia, I know you are now resting and smiling in our Father's arms!
I met Cynthia when I got to Tech, such a sweet and loving person. Much condolence to her family, Rest in peace to all my fellow classmates and continue to watch over the rest of us. Cynthia you will be miss.
Yes, I remember Cynthia with a very kind, gentle, and meek spirit. She always greeted me with a smile while asking how are you and your friends (mentioning them by name). She focused on what was important to the other person when making conversation with me. She had a unique and unselfish concern for others that is rare. What a very sweet person. I will miss her at the reunion.
I ALSO WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR ABOUT HER DEATH. SHE AND I WERE VERY CLOSE. SHE ALWAYS CALLED ME HER FIRST BOYFRIENG.WE HAVE NOT LOST A FRIEND BUT GOD HAS GAINED A ANGEL. TERRY T-BLIND MARSHALL
Wow, I was so stunned to see Cynthia (aka Grandma) listed as deceased. I am truly sadden by her death. Cynthia was such a sweet and kind spirited person. To know her was to love her. I have had several conversations with her in the last years. She was going through some of lifes trials and tribulations as we all have and she would stop by my mother's house on V Street NE everytime she saw me on the porch visiting. We would talk about how good God was and how He had the ability to help us all through our trials and tribulations. I would always encourage her to keep her head up and trust in God and allow Him to lead her. She had the spirit of an angel and I will truly miss her. God called her home to rest because He only takes the best! Rest in peace my beloved friend.
I was so sorry to hear of the transition of Cynthia Tillman. I remember her as such a quiet little girl. I am sure that she will be remembered for her quiet disposition and gentleness.
I remember Cynthia very well. Soft spoken, nice, loving,and sensitive. And silly and fun too. I was, and still am shocked to heard that she is no longer with us. Sad to know she is not around, but happy to know I got to know her. Rest peacefully my friend.
