I had always contacted Cecelia when I had news to share, good or bad.  And through the past 4 years since she had passed I had had the impulse to pick up the phone, or send her an email when I had news to share, only to realize the she is gone.  I miss my friend terribly and those occasions when we shared serious discussions.  Rest in peace, my friend, and I will to see you someday.

..will always miss Cecelia in the spring at strawberry season.  

Continued prayers of support and Love on your Bereavement journey. 

Stay strong, June, Rosalind and Wesley.

Cecilia was a good friend of mine.  I didn't know that she died until all of a sudden I received no emails.  I kept wondering what happened.  I looked on Google and found she died.  How did she die?


Cecilia was a good friend of mine.  She stayed at my hhouse when I was young for a while.  We were exchanging emails.  I hadn't heard from her in a long time.  I decided to do a Google search for her and found out that she died.  I would like to hear from someone.  How did it happen?  Did she have cancer?  Was she really sick?  

She was generous to have me spend weekends with her to take a break from motherhood.
I still treasure the memories of those weekends. There were much appreciated.
I miss hearing her voice from time to time.
🙏🙏🙏

Cecelia was the kindest, most caring person I have ever known. We met almost four years ago after a number of years and she had not changed . Her smile lit up a room and her thoughtfulness was extended to all who knew her. Rest In Peace Cecelia. Condolences to all her family.

Cecelia shared so much wisdom and poetry with me. I am grateful to have known her.

The world is changed by your example, not your opinion.

Our deepest sympathy to June and Robert, Roslyn and Wesley and all the family.  Cecelia's kindness, thoughtfulness and laughter will never be forgotten.
In her short visit to Ireland 14 years ago, she said she felt quite at home, and she made a great impression on all my family.
Love and prayers, 
Una O'Connor,  Dermot and Lily, Ali and Billy, Michael and Sandra and Maeve.
Rest in peace.

Cecelia’s friendship was a source of sunshine and laughter for both me and my family!  I will deeply miss the time we spent together chatting over  a great cup of coffee  at our neighbourhood cafe.  Sympathies are extended  to all members of the family that Cecelia loved so dearly!  Sandy Giles Byrne and Family

Cecelia had a smile that would light up any room!  She was kind, patient and loved life.  

I will miss her smile and laughter.  

She will be deeply missed.

May Cecelia rest in eternal peace. She was a very kind, caring and generous person .
Her sunny smile will be truly missed.

I met Cecelia through her regular visits to an elderly lady who lives where I work. She was the soul of patience with this anxious lady and kept coming, even when the visits weren’t satisfying. Cecelia loved to see pictures of my dog, and the last time I showed her one, she asked if I would send it to her. I did, and the next time she came (which was her last visit) she arrived with a mug for me with his picture on it. That kind of kindness and caring was Cecelia’s trademark. I will miss her.

Her heart was light
Her soul was beauty
Her smile caressed
She give her best
But clouds came by
And in her quest
She reached the stars
And left a light within our hearts.

We are so very sad that we have lost our dear Cecelia who will always be remembered for her kindness and generosity. Quick with a smile and a joke, Cecelia was a bright light in our choir at Our Lady of Lourdes Church and she will be very deeply missed by her many friends. Rest in peace Cecelia. You are at the side of Jesus now. 
With love from , 
Marianne Marusic, Alice  and Evan McMurtry, Laura McClintock 

Cecelia was a very dear friend who like us treasured our friendship.   She saw this quote by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik on Friendship and sent it to Linda and me.  Our hearts ache now that she is gone, but rejoice that she is now in peace.  Rest now, my friend, and enjoy your new abode that has been prepared for you.  We will miss you deeply.
-Armin & Linda Marquez
