Oh our sweet Cecil! I remember her pulling up from being at the beach all day and walking across the street to introduce herself! She made me and my sister feel like we had been friends for years! Later, she presented us with coasters for our beach house! We cherish them! We also loved to sit on her back porch with her sister and laugh! We will miss her terribly! I know that there was a shout of joy as she was welcomed home by Jesus, her husband, sister and family! Heartfelt condolences to you all in this great loss!
