I am so thankful I got to see Cecelia after many long years. I love her and loved my next door neighbors so much. I regret I will not be there Saturday night because there will be so many of Cecelia's loved ones that I am anxious to see and meet. My husband's uncle died and we will be in Enterprise. Love to all of you!!!
