I worked with Ceil for numerous years at OASAS and its predecessor agencies. She was a beautiful human being with unconditional compassion. My prayers are with the Henderson family on their loss of one terrific lady.

My sincere condolences to the Henderson family. I worked with Ceil at DSAS/OASAS for a number of years. There was never a more kind, patient and caring person. A very sweet soul. Rest in peace, Ceil.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cecilia. I did not know the lady personally, but I can see her goodness, as passed down to her son, Brian, whom I consider a friend. She must truly have been a wonderful wife, sister, mother and friend. I cannot attend the wake, as my family will be celebrating the 97th birthday of my dear mother, who passed away in September 2012. My mother will always remain present in our lives, and this is our way of giving her thanks. Cecilia will always be present in your lives, and I encourage you to find a similar manner to honor her each year. It will bring you comfort. It will bring Cecilia joy. Believe it.

In Sympathy
Fran, Henderson Family, Brandow Family
The inevitability of life always is disconcerting. Hearing words of comfort,Seems to comfort only the speaker.
Yet to live life
In all its facets
We must embrace all the inevitabilities, Keep the faith
And,
May the force be with you....
