So sorry to hear of Cecilia's passing, I have very fond memories of her from her smile to her laugh to her overall presence. She was a joy to know and I'm fortunate I had the opportunity to know her and call her friend. She will be missed.

Aunt Cecelia was a sweet, kind, and very classy lady who always had a good word for everyone. We remember the great times we had when she visited us in Florida with aunt Virginia. We will miss that beautiful smile. Sincere condolences to the family.

I have often thought very fondly of your Mom and her gentle laugh. I am so sorry I can't be there for you, though I live 3 miles from Linda in The Villages.

So sad to hear of the passing of our dear Aunt Cecilia. She was always quick with a grin and a laugh. We especially lover her lemon pie. My mom (her sister Virginia) and my dad always watched out for them and their family in the early years. She was a delight!
