It has been several months since her passing, but I was a big fan of Cecilia's acting work and her personality as a mother for Flynn and a wonderful wife to James.
She is in God's care now and she will always be there in your hearts. I loved her appearances in Law and Order, she would make me smile and say "OMG thats James's wife!" She will be glad to see her grandchildren from Heaven :)
