fear, and alone.  At times this is almost unbearable.  We have received such an outpouring of support from family,
friends, co-workers, neighbors and complete strangers, and the community here has so much compassion for our
mother, us 6 children, 11 grandchildren, and the first great-grandchild that Mom will never see.  

Please know how much we appreciate each kind word and gesture, and know that comfort is what is helping us get
through this.  We want to thank the Detectives of the Tracy Police Department for all of their support and diligence
with our mothers' case.  They are outstanding.

Lastly, I would like to say that some negative and inaccurate comments were made about my mother and how
inappropriate it was to do so.  She was murdered, and We are Grieving.  Please give us the respect we deserve
because the bottom line is - She did not deserve to die like this.

                            Thank You.

                            Christina Barnes, oldest daughter of Cindy Ramos

In Loving Memory of:
Sunrise: August 22, 1950
Sunset: August 6, 2009
On August 6, 2009, our Mother was brutally and senselessly murdered.  
At the risk of jeapordizing the case against the suspects, our family does
not want to discuss any details of the case.  We do, however, fully intend
our continued cooperation with legal authorities and pursue justice,
honoring our mothers' memory.  

Our family has been absolutely devastated by this haneous act.  We are
not only grieving the loss of our mother who was taken from us before
her time, but we are also haunted with thoughts of the horror she must
have felt in the final moments of her life.
As we are left trying to put the pieces together and make sense of it all,
we are forced to face a greusome visual of the mother we so loved...
suffering and unthinkable act of violence, in great pain, unimaginable
Rather than go to trial, Defendants accepted Life In Prison without the possibility
of parole.  Sentencing of the Two Murderers of Our Mother arrived unexpectedly
on February 2, 2010 when the Morgans decided to plea guilty to 1st Degree Murder
with Special Circumstances and were given Life In Prison Without the Possibility
of Parole!!!
