After more than five decades of passionate resistance and
ferocious survival, our mother Janet Cyril died near the dawn of Saturday,
January 15th, 2005. She was 59 years old.
Though sickle cell had weakened her body, our
mother's spirit remained strong and is with us today. If you are one of
the many that have been touched by her courage, her commitment, and her
compassion- please join us with bright colors, song, and poetry in our
celebration of her life.
