When our physical selves depart from this world, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, what remains are the memories captured in photographs, both print and digital, and perhaps 8mm film, and more recently on cell phone video cameras. More important are the memories that we have of our loved ones in our hearts and minds. Such are the memories that I have of Cynthia. She and I were first cousins and grew up next-door to one another. Our condolences to Mark and Nick and their families.
Tommy and Margaret Munoz

Our deepest condolences to the Solis, Munoz families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have very fond memories of Cynthia as a childhood friend, neighbor and classmate(the last graduating class at SFA class of 1971). She took part in organizing all the class reunions as well as Mexican American Seniors class reunion at Fiesta Ballroom. Later on, she became an asset in our community as a very giving and caring person. Rest In Peace my sweet friend.
