Rex,
I just heard of Cilla's passing and wanted to let you know that I share in the sorrow you feel. She was a kind, gentle and caring person whose smile could dispel the deepest gloom. I remember the two of you in school - you seemed the perfect couple, made for each other. There was always a look of joy and contentment in your expressions when you were together.
I wish that I had kept in touch over the years and I truly regret that Cilla was not at our last class reunion. (I was looking forward to one of the mischievous barbs she would often direct toward me.) I will forever cherish the memories of Cilla's bright smile and her sharp wit.
I hope that you will find comfort in the many memories you have from your years together and the knowledge that you both are often in the thoughts and prayers of old and distant friends.
Peace be with you.
J.C.

Rex, Eric, and Craig,
My sister was such a brave, loving, kind, and caring woman and I miss her more than words can ever express.
Rex, you were such a wonderful husband to her and took such good care of her throughout her illnesses. She loved you so very much.
Eric and Craig, you were the light of your mother's life and she loved you both so very much and was so proud of both of you.
Even though she isn't with us anymore in body, she will always live within our hearts forever. We know that she's in a wonderful place free of pain and suffering and cruising around heaven with Mom in a shiny, red corvette.
Remember that we are always here for the three of you and love all of you very much.
Love, Phyllis and Ed

Dear Rex and boys,
Oh what memories came flooding back at the mention of Priscilla's name. Cheerleading and high school days were long ago but she had a place in many people's fond memories. We had little idea of what she had been through the last few years but have little doubt (knowing Priscilla) that she faced it all with sweetness, conviction, and love. You have our sincere sympathy.
