So very sad to hear of Cecil's passing. I knew her as my mom's good friend and she was always so very wonderful to me as a child and even later. She was such a warm and gentle person and she will be missed.

Both Cecil and Gary shared such a huge part in our childhood and adult life. Gary passed away SO young -- we think about him very often and remember so many good times. Cecil was a "Jewel." Gary loved her SO much and so did we. Thank goodness, we have so many photographs and memories. Cecil will never be forgotten. We are so happy they are now together.
