Aunt Ceil will be sorely missed. I was joking with her last summer that she saved my life twice (while we were growing up). One time she helped me down from a cliff and once dragged my bike out of the river. Those things you just don't forget.

Ernie, Mark, and family. We are so sad over the loss of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I sit here and think back on the years when we were younger and spent so much of our youth with the great people that called Cheshire Harbor home. My parents and my brothers will forever have fond memories of those years past. The Moncecchi family
