To: The Delay Family. I am sure none of you would remember me,but Cynthia and I were classmates in elementary school at McDonogh #42. Cynthia,has always been one of the few classmates I remember. She was always so sweet with a quiet humble spirit. May the Peace of God and the Comfort of the Holy Spirit be with you in the coming days.
