I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Mrs. Greenberg, my daughter Erica has had the pleasure of taking piano lessons from her for the past 7 years.We all love her very much and my heart is heavy, Erica will never forget her encouragement and confidence she had in her students. I am truly a better person for having been blessed to know a woman as giving and loving as Mrs. Greenberg was. I give my love and prayers to her husband and beautiful large family that I feel I know just from the pictures all around her home. Always, always love and deepest regards for Meyer and Cecille Greenberg. Love, The Patmon-Hewitt family.

Heath and I are so saddened to hear of Cecille's passing. She was one of the classiest ladies we knew, she also had so much patience with her piano students including Heath. We always commented that we wanted to have a marriage like yours. You both were truly blessed to have one another for so many years. Please let us know if there is anything at all that we can do.
