Cyd Mizell



I found out some very sad news the other day. Some very good friends told me that our friend Cyd who had been teaching in Afghanistan and was Kidnapped a month ago on January 27th with her driver by 6 gunmen. On the 27th of February the Aid group she worked for reported that she was killed by her kidnappers. I have had a hard time with this, as I have thought about it all day. Cyd's driver Abdul Hadi was kidnapped also and killed.


We are deeply grieved to report the apparent deaths of Adul Hadi and Cyd Mizell, Asian Rural Life Development Foundation workers who were kidnapped by gunmen Jan. 26 in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Although we have no confirmation of their deaths, we have received information over the past few days indicating that our two aid workers have been killed. . Hadi, a resident of Kandahar, had served as an ARLDF driver for two years. Known by colleagues as a
“kind, loving man,” he was the father of five children, ages 6 to 15. Mizell, 50, a native of Eureka, Calif., dedicated her life to serving the people of Afghanistan. Since 2005
she had lived in Kandahar,I am the resurrection and the life. He whobeliev

es in Me, though he may die, he shall live. -Jesus

I am sad behind words; I like to know more about her. Hopefully her friends and family post things about her, about her life in America. Also I would like to know everything that mother and father remembers. The kind of food she likes, her favorite Ice cream…., I have seen she has a beautiful smile. Can some tell the sound of laughter, and her tears?
