My condolences and prayers for the family. I will always remember Miss Cynthia.
Sorry for your loss Debbie and your family may God give you strength for this journey and peace in your heart that it is the will of God
Prayers and love extended to Debbie Vaughn and the entire family. Remembering Cynthia as a baby from Mt. Sinai when I was a member there.
I graduated with Cynthia from FC. I remember that we had several classes together. My prayers going out to her family and friends.
It comes as a shock to hear about the transition of our sister in Christ, Cynthia Griggs. We grew up together at Mt. Sinai ACCG. She was a sweet person and an awesome singer. She was one of the lead vocals for the Young People's Choir founded & directed by the Late Pastor PH Motley, my mother. She had this Big Voice that would move the entire church into serious worship. Sooo many wonderful memories. Our hearts go out to her sister, Debbie Vaughn, and her entire family. Be Encouraged...... Bishop Mandell & Prophetess Denisa Motley
