Cece, we had some lovely chats over a cup of coffee.  I know how much you cared for EVERYONE around you.  You will be missed.

My dear beautiful Cece, what a loyal friend you have been.  Little did we know in those early years that we would carry the moniker 'The 3 Musketeers' for  46 years - and counting.  You are the epitome of service to God, country, family, and your church. To me, that speaks boundless words of how true a Catholic you are, and a true Christian.   If someone asked me the question 'What would Jesus do?' (WWJD), I would have to say 'Ask Cece, she knows without a doubt.'  I saw her pray with the chaplain about 2 weeks ago – wow!!! what purity of spirit she brought to that moment, as beautiful and pure as when a child makes her first prayer to God. There is a French Proverb that says:  Gratitude is the heart's memory. How grateful I am that you blessed my life with your love, your radiant smile, your eyes with a non-stop twinkle, and your ever so genuine delight to see me… and all your friends.  And you gave me even more: the gift of witnessing the awesome care and love given by Gayle, Jason, Samantha, and Damon, and how they honored your wishes; the gift of feeling my love for you because it hurts so much to say goodbye; and the gift of meeting all your friends as we join to wish you a beautiful new sacred journey 
My beautiful Cece, Thank You. 
Connie.

I've know her for 25 years.  Although there were ups and downs in her life, she handled it with grace.  It's such a sad thing for those left behind that she is no longer with us but she is forever loved in our hearts.  We love you and will miss you daily Cece !

We only knew Cece for a little while since we've only lived inthe neighborhood a year. We will miss the waves and the conversations. Cece was the first person my husband, Eric, met when we moved in and all he could talk about was what wit and humor the lady on the corner had. He said I would enjoy meeting her and I truly did. Cece, you will be missed on Woodridge Drive. We are sorry we did not get the chance to know you better.

Cece, more than anything I will always remember your kindness and your heart of gold.  You once told me, "If wishes were fishes we'd all cast our nets," and I will always hear your voice in my head when I remember those words...as well as so many other of your words of wisdom that you shared with me.  A truly loving and devoted mother and grandmother.  You were a kind and dear friend to me during some tough times. I will always be grateful to have known you and your family.

May You Find Comfort During This Time of Sorrow.

Isaiah 57:15 For this is what the High and Lofty One, who is residing forever and whose name is holy, has said: â€œIn the height and in the holy place is where I reside, also with the one crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones and to revive the heart of the ones being crushed.

Regards,

I worked with Cece for a few years and the best part of that was all the laughter!!! Cece had a great sense of humor, and like me, it was a bit warped at times! It made for good times and great memories! I know she will be greatly missed! I pray for peace and comfort for her family!

Cece we had our ups and downs but you are still my sister and now you are no longer in pain and suffering. You will be missed. No matter what you always had love in your heart.
