Not sure what to say?

I was so fortunate to know Cecilia. She was my prayer partner at a Retreat at St. Clement's and gave me a special gift, a rosary blessed by the Pope. My mom and I also bought many pies at Valley Acres and urns for the cemetery. Everyone who knew her realized her strong faith and enjoyed her beautiful smile. She especially loved Fr. Neil. Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. Praying for her extended family, especially Nadine.

I didn't know her well, but we spoke on the phone one time, I think it was after I wrote a "Letter to the Editor" of the Saratogian. She enjoyed the letter and took the time to call. Found this picture on Ancestry.

My heart is heavy ....Cece was a unique woman and I'm a better person for knowing her ......I had the honor of helping to care for her ....she was an encouragement and a light to everyone who knew her ....I know where she is and can't wait to see her again ...Jesus came so we don't have to say goodbye....we say ..."see you later friend " ...until that day Cece you are loved and missed

I had the pleasure to work with Ms. Cece as one of her aids. On her better days she would sing and dance love listening to Frank Sinatra. Full of happiness until the end.

You will be missed young lady. It was a pleasure to be a part of your caregiving team for those several months. RIP and I hope they have a cold drink and popsicles you like. ❤

Rest in Peace Mrs. Monaco. Thank you and Jimmy for running a cherished local business.

As one of Cecelia’s many nieces and family members from the Monaco camp we would like to express how much we all adored Aunt Cecelia. She was full of life and a graceful flamboyance that we all hope to emulate as we mature. You were truly one of a kind and may God bless you as you enter Heaven and greet all of our loved ones. Patricia (Monaco) Gonzales with Antoinette (Monaco) McCullom, Sonta (Monaco) Mone and all from the Monaco family ! May you rest in peace in the arms of our Heavenly Father

My condolences ...may you RIP. growing up West side are memories will never forget...

thank you for the service/treatment you gave to me and my family at valley acres rip you deserve now. my condolences to your family
