Cissie Winters

I don't know where to begin about all the memories of jamming at "Neal's House" in High School. Neal's Mom always had an endless supply of chips and hotsauce for all of us wanna be rock-stars.As soon as we named the band, Cissie put "Tickled Pink" on her mailbox in big letters for everyone in the Hillcrest area to see. One room of the townhome was dedicated to the band for as long as I can remember Cissie and Neal living there, while we went to Hillcrest.She was at every gig she could get...

I am Cissie's youngest, Neal. Thought I would post the speech I gave at the service:

I recently read a quote…There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval (George Santayana). My Mom certainly did enjoy that interval that is this life here on earth. She lived every day to it’s fullest. She was warm hearted, funny, patient, caring, always giving of her time and resources to others. She always put everyone else’s concerns before her own.

Lisa, I was so sorry to hear about your Mother. I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in our prayers and remember: It is better to walk with God in the darkness than to go alone in the light. I hope you remember me, I am Charlinda's mother.

All that I can say is that she was a wonderful person who cared about everyone more than she did herself. I loved her and respected her for who she was and what she did for others. She will be dearly missed by me, my wife and my family. She will always be in my thoughts and around through tough times. She always kept her head up and positive thinking was the way she lived and told us to live our lives. I love her and wish she was still here with us today.
