Muriel,
This is a second time I've signed the guest book but I have been trying to get your mailing address so I could write to you. All of you were such special neighbors and I am so sorry I did not get to Cecil's funeral. Again, I send love and sympathy to you and your family.

Ruby use to tend to my son when he was just a baby and my son loved Cecil. He called him CC. Ruby also let me stay with them once when we needed a place to stay. I always loved Ruby and Cecil. I know folks at Henry Virginia will all miss Cecil a lot. I just heard he got saved and baptised and I could see Ruby shouting from the rooftops. She use to read the bible to my son. My son is now 36 years old. Ruby and Cecil meant so much to me. Just wanted you to know that everyone loved Cecil. He was a most kindhearted person. Use to bring my son candy and always was so good to me. I will always smile when I think of Cecil. He will be missed very much. Love and God bless, Sandra Richardson
