Grief never ends, but it changes It’s a passage not a place to stay.  Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…It is the price of love.” Happy are those who mourn since they will be comforted.”  (Matthew 5:4)

On Thursday, September 1, 2022, God called Cynthia A. Warren home to rest. Affectionately known as “Cindy.”  She was born on April 27, 1958.  She was educated in the Norfolk Public School system. She worked in the field of Environmental Services for over 20 years as a housekeeper for the community and various organizations. She was due to start a new position in the field of Environmental Services at Old Dominion University, on the day God called her home to rest. In her spare time, she enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, friends, and “listening to her music.”  She made it her pleasure to help others in need. Cindy was very family oriented and no matter where she was, her spirit and her heart made others gravitate towards her. Cindy was “The life of the Party” and was known for having a heart of gold and showing everyone how to have a good time. She will truly be missed by all her family and friends.
