It was with deep sadness that I learned of Aunt Cecil’s death. I offer my condolences to her family for their loss. I have such warm memories of those wonderful family gatherings which were a part of my childhood. I have not seen Aunt Cecil for many years, but she has been and always will be a part of me. The world is a smaller place without her. Rest in peace dear Aunt Cecil
Glad you found out about this. We were trying to find numbers for your family
We send our sincere condolences to all of the family that Cecil loved enjoyed and cared for. Living in Hudson Falls ourselves we were fortunate enough to know her see her in church and go to family gatherings at her house. She will surely be missed and remembered. Got bless.
