Marsha, Diane and family;
I only heard of your Mom's passing today and am distraught that I did not know sooner. I was neighbor with Marsha and Ceal for many years and will miss her warm smile and softness. May you all know that she was always loved and always will be. May the ALMIGHTY comfort you during this difficult time. Brenda Jackson and family

Mom Johnson, I heard first that your Mon wasnt doing well from Terry and then a few days later Diane was in the store and told me of her passing. I am so sorry that you have lost your mom. I can go on and on forever about the fund memories that I had of Mrs. Cecelia, she was as handful back then. May the memories that the family have of her help each and everyone of yall to move forward, for she has truely lived a good life. RIP Cecelia you will forever be missed.

Small in stature she was but had a huge heart
Love abounding that anyone she crossed wanted to be a part
Of her world and joy she shared
All those that were graced w/her presence know that no one compared
She was not just a mother or grandmother to the family she would always nurture
But attained an abundance of extended family who will remember her through our futures
This pillar of the community is no longer here on earth with us
But her legacy lives on, and for this I must
Say to all, let's laugh to celebrate her life and dry our tears of grief
Cause this Angel has gotten her wings, and for this you must believe
That the heavens have opened up it's pearly white gates
And welcomed this Woman of Devine Glory & Grace
Forever Loving You

May the lord comfort you during this time. Ceal used to watch me when I was a little girl and she was always such a beautiful person inside and out. She is in such a better place with her wings and be certain that she is watching over her loved ones. God Bless!
