Lauren, Sybil and the Graham Family
Rev Cecelia will be greatly miss. I will miss talking to her in the Trustee's room and hearing her laughter. She had a laugh that would make you smile just hearing it. We don't know God's plan but we know that she loved the Lord and is now with him in heaven. I will miss not seeing her face or having that person to talk to about one of our favorite show "Monk".
The family is in my prayers and may the Lord give your peace during this time and the days ahead.
Love Nancy Cook

Our sincere prayers and thoughts go out to the Graham Family, We know that the Lord will comfort you in your hour of sorrow, for Psalms 121:1-2 says I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth. With much sympathy. Michael & Letitia (Keeling)Turner.

Lauren, Sybil and the Graham Family,
On the behalf of David, Pam, Anthony and Lakeia- we love you and may God continue to strengthen your hearts. We may not understand why Cecelia has gone home to be with the Lord in this season; just know that God will reveal His grace and mercy unto you, and we will see her again.
I Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Rev. Cecelia (“Girlie Girl”), I am going to deeply miss YOU sitting on the front row in church. I know that your spirit is now rejoicing with the Lord around the Throne.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. It has truly been a pleasure getting to know Ms. Graham at ECS. Words can not express the saddest we have but we know that God's plan is greater than ours and He has it all in His hands. I thank you Ms Graham for the life lessons you have instilled in our kids at ECS. One thing my daughter, Jasmyn talks about is Ms Graham said "Don't make an excuse, make an effort!" THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the love you have shown your students. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

Ecclesiastes 3
1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
2A time to be born, and a time to die.....
4A time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance...
8A time to love.....
I thank God for putting you in my life, and I know he has not made a mistake, bringing you home. You will be loved and live forever in my heart until that day we all are reunited.
Love You BooBoo

To my Family:
John 14:1-4
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.
Trust in the Lord he will show us the way.

You are in our prayers. May God continue to comfort you during your time of bereavement. Rev. Cecelia left a great legacy. I will truly miss her beautiful smile and her asking me when she can have my suit. God has a new angel at his side. We were truly blessed by her presence at Cornerstone.

Ms. Graham~
Gone but not forgotten. We will always remember your smile and deep dimples. You will be forever missed by the many children that have passed through your arms. We take for granted the time that we have here and often forget to say thank you. So, THANK YOU for letting me get to know you and for treating my child (Indya) as your own.

To the Family of "BooBoo"
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
God removed a link from your presence, He has a divine plan, He needed BooBoo with Him. We will never understand why our loves one have to leave at any given moment, I want to remind you all, God makes No Mistakes. He is past finding out, so to question him concerning the passing of our love ones will only doubt who He is as the
Author and Finisher of our faith. Remember God is in control of life and death...
God has placed each of you in a position to reach out to one another, for strength, unity and morale support, take your loves by the hand, lead and guide each other along the way.
My prayers are extended to each of you, if there is anything I can do to assist, my hands and my heart are open.
Be strong in the Lord, He will mend your broken hearts. Reverend Cecelia Graham, has taken her place with the Father, you will see her once again in glory.
