We were "Pine Street" girls, living one block apart. She was a great bike rider and jacks player! Her beloved mother baked really good cookies and we shared carefree summer days together. She was a precious little girl and most beautiful and graceful lady. It was my honor to have known her and she will be greatly missed. My prayers are with her two sons, whom she spoke of so lovingly.

Fond memories of my witty, poised friend from 9th-12th grades at Waco High School. It saddens me to learn of her passing. Please accept my sincere sympathy and hope that you will find peace in knowing she is at rest. God bless you all.

Cecilia and I became friends in second grade; we spent many wonderful times together--at school, at camp, at play. She was a terrific woman and an incredible friend. We seldom were able to visit once we were grown and married, but geographical distance never diminished our ties. I loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family--I extend my deepest sympathy.

Cecilia and I won our flight in the Member/Member tournament right before she became ill. She was a good golfer, quite the competitor and a regular participant in the Trophy Club Ladies Golf Association. We miss her.
