I have nothing but fond memories of my Aunt Ceil and was glad we got to spend some time with her last month, sharing memories from over the years. She was the baby and last of her generation of Lazoriks and we are all honored as having her as a cornerstone of our family. She will be missed, but we are at peace knowing she is back together once again with all her brothers and sisters.
