Cecil Piper

Dear Marian, I remember the smile, the dancing, the laugh, and the enjoyment all of us shared at the "Rainbow Valley Dutchmen" dances.

Time goes too quickly, but the memories last.

Danced so many times with Cecil and felt honored when he would ask me. Sorry to hear of his passing. No doubt he is dancing in heaven with so many other dancers who have left us. Marion, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Marian, Janice, Dennis and family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you for your loss of Cecil. He was a very special friend to Richard! I'm sure those 2 are dancing together again up in heaven...and providing jokes and laughs for all of the angels! We had many great times laughing and dancing around the state and especially in New Ulm at the BIG POLKA FEST. God Bless & keep in touch.

Love,
Valeria Stephany and Family
