While I didn't know Cissy, I am lucky enough to consider her granddaughter Katherine Mayo Earls one of my oldest and closest friends. In reading the remembrance of Cissy, I know she must have treasured how her granddaughter has carried on her great legacy.
My thoughts are with Katherine, Robert, Emily, and Alex - and all who were lucky enough to know and love Cissy.

Thinking of the amazing positive energy Cissy put into her life and the lives of others:
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Frank and Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Frank, you were so kind to all of us when I lost my Dad.
God Bless you all.
