To Cecilia's family... Muriel Budd and her family share in your loss of your wonderful mom. While my mom was living in the Village, they were very close and often had dinner and lovely visits. Your mom also would come up to Lasell House to see our mom after her stroke and never forgot their friendship. One Thanksgiving she came to our house to join our family. It was a time we will always cherish. I know you will miss her warmth and love and will think about how fortunate you all were to have her well into your adulthoods. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you during this sad time.

Gary,
I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. I don't know if you remember me, but we went to high school together. I saw this notice through Temple Beth Am and thought of you. My condolences to you and your family.

Cecelia was a geat lady. Quite a character and full of life. During the time that I was privilaged to know her she would set up appointments with me in my Natick office when she was going to the hairdresser or playing cards with the girls in Framingham. She lived life the way she wanted to and it was long and it was a good. She will be missed.

My sympathy to her chidren and granchildren whom she loved dearly.
