Alan, Jason, Brian and Matt and family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with your mom at Cricenti's and also Hannaford's. We used to go to bingo every week. She could be very comical. R.I.P. Ceal!

Alan, Jason, Matt and Brian, I was just told about your mom. I’m devastated. Although I haven’t seen her for a year, when we did meet up, we’d always share laughs and she’d tell me how you guys were. She was so happy to have that granddaughter but you four were her jewels. I have fond memories to remember her by and I know you all do as well. She was a good mom and a hard worker. I wish I had known she wasn’t feeling well so I could’ve encouraged her to come to Dartmouth with me. I’m so sorry. I won’t be able to make the calling hours but I’ll be there in spirit. Thinking of you all.

Dear Alan, Jen and Paige,

For years I had chatted and admired, Cecelia at Cricenti's then Hannaford's. We always had wonderful conversations and pleasant encounters. What a kind, warm, compassionate soul. After I met all of you, I let Cecelia know we had connected and had even more to talk about. We bonded when we realized we were both a mom to four sons. Kudos, Cecelia. I have missed seeing Cecelia these past few years. I figured she retired. I am so very sorry for your loss. Cecelia talked about Paige every visit and I think having a granddaughter after four sons was just the icing on the cake for her. Paige, your grandmother was your biggest cheerleader. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Rest in peace, Cecelia.
