Stephen Storms and family

Stephen, Brian, Gregory & members of the Storms family:

I was saddened to learn of the death of your dear wife and mother, Cecelia Theresa Storms. At times such as these, words are unable to carry the full message of comfort and consolation which we want them to bear, but they are all we have. Having experienced the death of my father in 1995, I am aware of the deep emotions which accompany such a loss. Be sure of continued remembrance of her in my prayers and those of all the Brothers here at St. Mary's Hall.

May the Lord continue to hold you and all your family in the hollow of his hand and may you find his comforting presence in the silent power of prayer, in the wisdom of the Scripture, the nourishment of the Eucharist, the beauty of the liturgy, and in all his holy people gathered round you to help you.

I join my voice to the ancient hymn of the early Church:

May the angels lead her into Paradise.
May the martyrs come and welcome her on her way
And lead her into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels welcome her.
And with Lazarus, who once was poor,
May she have everlasting life. Amen.

I close with the traditional prayer which we Brothers have prayed for over three hundred years:
Live Jesus in our hearts--Forever.

With sympathy and promise of prayers,
Your Brother,

Dear Steve, Brian and Gregory,

I just received tha sad news of Cecilia's death. I was a colleague at Chestnut Hill College and a fellow Spanish major. I remember her enthusiasm. I regret that we lost touch in spite of the many times I thought of her whenever I returned to halls of CHC. She was thoughtful, kind, and fun to share Spanish class concerns with. What a loss. I send my condolences to you and all who loved her.

Dear Steve,
I was saddened to hear of Cecilia's death. I went to CHC with her many years ago, and we spent a summer in Mexico together in 1967 as a part of a service program. I always admired her Spanish skills and her kind nature.
My condolences to you and your family.

Steve, Brian & Gregory,

I was very saddened to learn of Cecelia's recent death. We were classmates at Chestnut Hill College as well as Spanish majors.We lost touch when she moved to Baltimore.
Just "out of the blue" I thought of Cecelia the other day, unaware that she had died. Then yesterday I got a postcard from Chestnut Hill College informing me of her passing.
I recall what a sweet and caring person she was. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Storms Family,
Cecelia and I worked together in the Congressional Research Service, Knowledge Services Group for 3 years. Everytime I saw her, she always made me smile inside and out. She had that way about her. Cecelia had so many sides to her. She took her job at the Library very serious and was one of the most intelligent and loyal employees in CRS. Sometimes we met for lunch, and she'd share funny stories about her Boys. Cecelia always had a twinkle in her eyes, ready to tell me something funny about her family. There was no doubt about the never-ending love she had for her children and for her dear husband. I miss her so much here at the Library. It is a rare privilege when one gets a chance to spend time with an Angel here on Earth. It is clear to me that God's Angel was needed back in Heaven. We have been blessed and are thankful that we had the chance to spend time with Cecelia. Gather peace and understanding over time knowing that a part of Cecelia will always be with every one she came in contact with, especially her Husband and Sons.

May God continue to Comfort and Bless her Family.

Dear Storms Family,
I am a Co-worker of Cecelia and I worked with Cecelia fors years in (CRS), she was one of the nicest people I know,she was a Rare Diamond Jewel to me and she will truly be miss, I remember when my mother passed in 2009, Cecelia came to my area and we talked and she said one day she was sitting out back of the Library of congress looking at the most beautiful Butterfly that she had ever seen and a strange women came along and said to her that's your Mother and Cecelia said that it made her feel so much better inside, I will never forget how that story made her light up and filled with happiness and how good she made me feel at a very hard time in my life. Now everytime I see a butterfly I will not only think about my mother I will think about Cecelia, my prayer are with the family, she truly will be missed. Rachel
