Also special thanks to Dr. Christa Slatnik who helped Cecelia through her illness like no one else could have. Thanks to all the nurses at Clinic Three and the third floor chemotherapy treatment at CancerCare Manitoba.

I met Cecelia as we were both going through Chemotherapy at Health Sciences. We shared the challenging journey. After I completed my chemo we continued to keep in touch, mainly by email. We shared our experiences both with cancer care and life. We could identify with each other's challenges,and feelings and offer encouragement. Cecelia had lots of love to share and I was so surprised when she told me she loved after I had only known her a short while. I enjoyed Cecelia's openness, her willingness to share of herself. She loved to laugh and said she could not figure out why she was so happy despite her illness. At this challenging, sad time I pray that God comfort you John and family as no one else can. May He shelter you and may you feel HIS arms surrounding as you go through this pain and adjust to living without Cecelia. Soon we will All walk the golden streets with Cecelia in the presence of Jesus. - Posted by: Ursula Ditchburn (Chemo friend) on: Mar 28, 2017

Sorry for your loss John, Darwin, Lisa, Diedre, Reynold, Randy and families. I remember hiding under the table at her first wedding as a very young child. Again, we didn't meet until cousin Reynold's wedding to Irene in St. Catherine's. She had left quite an impression on me especially when I came home from that trip smoking cigarillos and recounting my adventures to my parents- Bob and Linda. It was a long standing amusement that they had announced me as cousin Charley, a nickname that Uncle Cecil would call me even in the occasional letter he would send. It was my first time away from home without my parents and I will always remember Cecilia taking me under her wing. I am thinking of you all in your time of grief and remembering💕😢 - Posted by: Cheryl Prokosh (Cousin) on: Mar 27, 2017
