Cynthia Beth Long

Cynthia, May you rest in God's peace and love.
To Jeremy, Lindsey and Brandon, I went to school and was in band with your mom. We always had alot of fun. She was very kind, lighthearted and had a great sense of humor. She was also a wonderful flute player. That is the Cynthia I remember and that makes me smile. May God comfort you all at this very sad time.

My deepest sympathies and prayers for the entire Long family. I was shocked and saddened to read of Cynthias passing. We hadn't seen each other since H.S. but she was one of the 1st friends I made when I moved to Pinewood, she was a wonderful friend and will be missed.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I was shocked when my mother told me the news. I remember Cynthia from school starting at Nome through high school. My thoughts are with the whole family.

Words cannot express my shock in learning that my best friend from Nome Elementary has left this life. I want to express my deepest sympathies to Jeremy, Lindsey, and Brandon in the loss of their loving mother and to her parents in the loss of their daughter. She was such a charismatic, fun-loving, sweet friend. May God comfort us all.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers are surrounding your family. We love you all.

Our sincere sympathy.
