My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. I worked with Cecil at the hospital in Danville for years. She was a great nurse and person. I was thinking about her the other day and wondering what she was doing now.

I met Cecil on Facebook, and we talked about genealogy and the pleasure she got out of taking care of cemeteries. She lifted my spirits with her wonderful personality. My condolences to family and friends. I hope time can heal your hearts and you can remember all the great moments you shared.
