My Dearest Sister,
I have been thinking of you always. I have a memorial pendant on a chain with birthstones attached to it. One for Dad, one for Mom, and one for you. One for each of the beautiful, wonderful, and most special of the Nielsen clan that I love and miss. I wear it close to my heart everyday and smile when I see it. It gives me such comfort just like you always did. Almost every morning, I see a beautiful sunrise coming up over the mountains of Camp Pendleton. It is usually cold and you can see your breath in the air. The air field is unusally quiet. It is such a peaceful time on a usually busy, noisy, and hectic workplace. I feel the warmth of your smile and loving nature fill me as the sun rises from its slumber. Words can never express how much I love you and miss having you here with us. Every time I hear a certain song from my favorite artist George Strait, I get teary eyed and think of you. It is now my favorite song. I play it always. Know that I am always looking for the sign from you. I love you my sister.
All my Love,
Becky

Hi Nugget,
My life is filled with many tokens of our long friendship. Every drawer I open at home as well as at my office has something that pops out of it. Cards, photos, little gifts that you gave me and years of momentous from our travels are sprinkled every where I am. It feels like you are surrounding me with your love and I am comforted. Not a day goes by without me thinking of you. I will miss you the rest of my life.

Hi Honey,
I noticed the other day that no one has written in your Guest Book for a long while, so I wanted to be the first to keep it going! Who says we can't write in here more than once!! The Holidays were certainly not the same without your love, abounding as it was. Somehow, though, we made it through. We're all trying to do "what you would have wanted" during these difficult times without you in our lives. We feel you in our hearts though, and your spirit is unbreakable. You were so strong, and we're trying to be just like you honey. You're still our HERO!!!!!!!!!!!! We're all better people because of your love and shining example of a human being. You still continue to DAZZLE us with your memory. We all miss you soooooooooooooooooooo much! INFINITY! XOXOXOXO!!!!!
I'll never ever forget you honey.
Even though you were my "younger" sister, you taught me so much about life and helped me to understand the mysteries I encountered. I continue to think about you every day, especially when I look up to the sky and see the Seven Sisters constellation, your favorite! I'll be checking back time to time to see what other people are thinking about you too. Remember this one thing that is most important: Your legacy is living on!!!!!!!!
Love, Me

Cece, I have the happiest memories of you. We played together all summer long when we were children. My sister and your sister, my brother and your brother, we had a blast when we were kids: sleep-overs, swimming, barbies, camping, hide-n-go-seek, & soap operas! Although I did not know you in adulthood, I am not surprised at how adored you were. You were a giving and sincere woman to the core and your beauty was intense inside and out. I stared at your pictures at your memorial celebration. I hadn't seen you for so long, I wanted to take back time and be able to hang out with you. I am lucky to have had you as a childhood friend. I will never forget you. My deepest sympathies are with your wonderful family who I thouroughly enjoyed seeing in Tiburon on that beautiful Marin County day, October 20th. Love always, Nancy Leaf

Cece,
I have to admit I've had a hard time thinking of words to describe the emotions going through my head and heart since your passing. I think my family and I knew that your time was close but never knew how much your abscence would affect all of us. I had the best memories with you when I was a little girl. You told me things that I still remember to this day. The Seven Sisters constellation in the sky. The story behind it, and how that was the one you always looked up at. I know that whenever I look to it now, it's you, in my heart. You told me that whenever my cat's eyes blinked, they were saying I love you. My favorite gifts every holiday came from you, in your most presenting packages! Each headline read differently for my birthday and Christmas, with stickers galore. The little gifts inside and the remnants you would give from Kauai. You will never know how much you have touched everyone's life in such little ways. You left footprints on all of our hearts. You gave so much to everyone and asked for nothing in return. I love you so much.

Remembering Cece:
As a close friend of her big brother Chris, I watched her grow up. Her family was always so kind
to my sisters and I, who are both
Cheri and Cece's age. We had slumber parties at thier house and
mine over the years, and though some of us drifted apart we are all
extremely saddened, and taken aback
that she would ever be taken while
still so young. She was always so
vibrant and cheerful, and honest and easy to talk to--she never put
on airs and was never stuck up. But
she was the shining light of her
family, smart in school, succesful
in business and love, and was sorely missed when she moved to
Hawaii, which everyone thinks of
as paradise. Now my fervent hope
is that she has moved to an even
better paradise, which she deserves. Cheri, Marty and Chris,
my heartfelt sympathy from Nashville, Tennessee.
Love, Danny Leaf and the Leaf Family.

CeCe, we may not have kept in contact through the years, but you have always been a special person in our family. You have touched our lives in such a positive, spiritual way like I'm sure you have touched anyone who had the pleasure of meeting you. You have done your work here on earth and we know you are needed elsewhere. We will miss you and your beautiful
smile,laughter,personality and gorgeous hair.
God Bless, David,LaRetta and Family

My dearest sister Ceceilia,
How I miss you so much. Words will never express how my heart aches for you. For a long time I felt very out of place.Caught between so many emotions. Confused. You always made me feel so whole. So loved. I know we didn't get to grow up together due to the age difference, but you are my sister. My blood. My family. I always had you in my heart and in my mind. You are one of the strongest, caring, beautiful, loving person I have ever been blessed to know. I am a better person for it. You had Dad's sense of humor, love of life, and your moms beauty,strong will, and zest for life. You are the best of all people. You may not be here in body, but you are always with all of us in mind and heart. I see you and your beauty everyday as the sun rises over the mountains, and sets over the ocean. I love you and miss you my big sister. Please look in on me every now and then. Give my love to Dad, Mom, and Aunt Sandy for me. I will see you again.
Love Always,
your baby sister Becky

Words seem so meaningless to even begin to describe my emotions at this time Cece; I've loved you before, I love you now, and I'll love you forever. Know that I'll be there whenever Michael, Joshua, Jim or Chris needs me. I miss your sweet smile so much honey, but it will always be in my memories. Sweet sweet memories of you, my baby sister, shall forever live on in my heart. I'll always be harmonizing with you, even while you're in heaven...........Love, Cheri (aka Big Sista) "Bien Nuit, P.D."
