Steve and Carol
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.
My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
Grandma Cece was and will always be a SPECIAL person in our lives.
I have memories of Grandma Cece in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of Grandma CeCe are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of Grandma Cece that are the most precious.
Peace and Love

Steve and family: I always told you that your mom was always one of my favorites. As my first home visit as an assistant at Miami, she made me feel so at home and to MU's fortune allowed you to join us in Oxford. Daughter Lenny has been a joy to know.

Cecelia was a very dear friend who helped us take care of my Mom when she was in our home and in a care center here in the Phoenix metropolitan area. There is no way one can say enough good things about this loving and holy lady! May she rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.
