Dear Kathy, Tommy and Timmy
Please realize our love and prayers are with you all at this time of loss. Your mother, and our "Aunt Ceil" and the spirit with which she lived will always be a special memory for me. As we have all lived very busy separate lives. I have always felt it to be a very a special time for us, when on occasion we were able to visit with all of you in past years. I will remember the stories your mother would tell us of her childhood with my grandmother and mother. Her stories filled in family history and legend of the varied characters on our family tree from long ago. We laughed well and good. And I will remember your mother as an loving mother, grandmother, and great aunt which I felt fortunate to have known throughout her long and well lived, full life. I know she is now in the loving arms of her loving husband and all her departed brothers and sisters. May God Bless her and keep her close. And to all of you we send our love and heart felt best wishes.

I have only come to know Ceil less than a year. But as a fellow parishioner and bridge partner at Annunciation, I will miss her sweet nature. (And she was a very talented bridge player.) May she rest in peace in God's loving arms.

She had a big smile on her face as she floated toward the gates,
she had forgotten to take her glasses off.
She wasn't there yet, but she was on her way....
