Cecelia Ava Byers

I don't know Cecilia Byers. but during my tour of Scotland I stopped at a lovely school on route 701 to Moffat. There was a bench there in memory of Celcilia Byers. may she rest in peace. Michael Kaplan

Cece it's been a while now since you have been gone and the presence of your absence though certain is still very unreal to me. From the start we had beautiful experiences and explored various endeavors of consciousness, concern and care which we reflected upon with a lot of laughter during our last and what became our final conversation. I still hear you saying before hanging up "I love you boy"...Lord knows I miss you and love you.

It is still so very hard to believe that you are gone. I came across a picture of you the other day that you sent me when you were a little girl. I smiled. Although I will be forever sad that you are no longer with us, I carry you in my heart forever.

Zora,

I just learned of your mother's passing. I wanted you to know how blessed I feel to have known such a remarkable human being. She had a warmth that could fill a room and a heart of gold to match it. I will miss her sassy smile and that infectious laugh! I send my love and prayers to you and your family in this difficult time. God bless!

Zora,
I had the honor of knowing and working with your Mom in the Communities in School programs (C.R. Neal and Five Points) in Richland One, Columbia, SC.
CeCe's legacy is one of hope, sharing, and compassion. As a master teacher, she touched many lives and inspired students to realize their potential. As an individual, she stood for all that was "right and good" in the world. We will miss her, but her legacy lives on. Please know that God will continue to bless and keep you. You and...

Zora, God blessed you with a remarkable mother. Keep fond memories of her in your heart. She was always proud of you.
CeCe's presence during my tenure at H. B. Rhame is one of my fondest memories. May you find strength in knowing that there is a loving God who is watching over you at this difficult time. Take comfort in His Blessed Assurance and let it give you the peace you need in the days to come.

Zora, your mother had more dimensions than anyone could imagine. Looking at the montage at the service proved that she was just CeCe. A beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit, she will forever be in our hearts. Her legacy will forever live in you. May God bless you.

Dear Zora and Family
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Carrie, Seth, and Subira Whipper
