We are so sorry to have learned of Cecelia's passing. She was a good neighbor to my parents at Creekside. We always enjoyed Cecelia's company while visiting. What a lovely woman who will be deeply missed. And Steve you are a wonderful son for spending all the time you did with your Mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
