Cinnie/Black I can only say that the time we shared together at school,the little trip to Florida, and riding back and forth to Charleston together we had a lot of good times and that's what I will always hold in my heart. To your family and friends you are in my prayers continually and may God give you peace now that she is resting. "chicken"

To the Bailey Family,
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.

Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.

Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go throught this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

May God & your beautiful memories give you strength at this difficult time. Some of my fond memories of Cynthia goes way back to playing softball & kickball on Mall Park for Coach Mickey. Cynthia was the catcher back then, smiling and laughing all the time. Then the Park closed so we started hanging out at the Boys & Girls Club on Mary Street and playing softball on Tiedmann Park. Those were the good ole days and some of my most treasured memories of Cynthia. We were young, happy and carefree. So family keep your head up high and pray to God for strength and peace. Love Pringle

To the Bailey family I send my condolences. I know how hard it is loosing a love one but as the days past the tears slowly go away and you begin to reflect on all the good times that you have shared together. Cynthia was truly an inspiration to all of us because during her toughest times she kept a beautiful smile and enjoyed life. She has touched many of us by sharing laughs, lots of knowledge and just being a loyal friend. I miss you Cynnie B.
