Aunt Ceil will always be remembered and not forgotten. She will live on in heaven with her brothers and sisters who have gone before her. She was a good person and I will always remember her visits here when we were children. I have lost touch with the family these past years, but I still care deeply about you all and wish you well through this difficult time.
