    Please accept my sympathy to all the wonderful children & loving Family & Friends in the painful loss of your dear Cecilia. She will be sorely missed by those who knew & loved her. Hopefully you will be comforted by the following Bible Verses: Psalm34:18 “JEHOVAH IS NEAR TO THOSE THAT ARE BROKEN AT HEART AND THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT HE SAVES.”
