Hi Theresa. I wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about your Mom. I wanted to get in touch with you but the nursing staff did not have access to your contact number. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. You can email me at [email protected]. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

Marie and I have been best friends since the early 1960's...I will truly miss this lady with the most beautiful heart ever. We were always there for one another regardless of the situation. We watched our children grow up together. We traveled together. We shared the good and bad times. I can't imagine not having this "angel" in my life with whom I've laughed and cried. Marie, when you run into our hubbies, please give them both a hug and kiss for me. I love you, lady! To Marie's family, if you need me, I'm here for you. Coralee

Even though her name is "Cecella" I knew her as Marie. She was a devoted member of American Legion Auxiliary Unit #284 putting service before self. She was also a hard worker for what is now called the Bellwood Woman's Club. A lovely lady and friend -- we will miss you.
