I will always remember and treasure my time with Aunt Ceci. Whether sitting at her kitchen counter or driving in her beloved van to go out for coffee, a bite to eat or icecream. A piece of my heart will always be with her, for I will truly miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family for we have truly lost a great member.

I remember a beautiful and caring young lady in high school named Celia. I was looking forward to seeing her at our high school reunion in October. My deepest sympathy to her family.
