Our sincere condolences to Janet and Susan and your families for the loss of your mother. So sorry we were not able to attend Cecile's funeral as we are away down south. Your mother could certainly relate as she enjoyed many happy winters in Florida herself. The last time my mother and I visited with Cecile she entertained us with stories of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It was so obvious her family meant everything to her. I'm sure she'll be missed. - Posted by: Linda and Steve Nause (Niece and husband) on: Mar 19, 2015
