Not sure what to say?

In remembrance of the Queen’s birthday (she threw some great parties). We should hoist a Belvedere Martini in her honor ❤

Milwaukee was very lucky to have you. You touched the whole City and made it so much better. Your laugh alone could change things. You were and are a WONDER! Love and miss you..

We were "True Colors of the Circus World" many years ago in Milwaukee's Great Circus Parade "Gilbert & Jones"

My Prayers is with the family

So sorry for your family’s loss. Cecilia was a Grand Lady fitting of the name Queen. Leeann and I , as well as my family are proud to call her my Peer at DPW and better yet our Friend. We are better off for having known her. ❤

Treasure the memories n enjoy our loved ones physically still here.

My deepest condolences goes to the family. Cecilia was definitely a Queen that will be truly missed.

May you rest in peace Queen.

Job well done pointing all of us to the north star that you seemed to enjoy.

My life and time in Milwaukee would not have happened if it was not for you and your wonderful guidance and assistance.

Rest well knowing your contributions will live on for many generations to come
