Condolences & Memories (13 entries)

  • Uncle Ronnie, Raymond and Roger and your loved ones. I am so sorry. When we were told of Auntie's illness we could not believe that such a vibrant fun full of life woman could be touched by this. Auntie Cecile always had a smile on her face, always wanted to know how everyone was, and kept in touch with wonderful cards. She is so loved by everyone. We are so lucky to have "Auntie Cecile" in our lives I can see her now putting her fingers to her lips saying no no no to some ribald statement that I had made. Thinking of her brings a smile to my face. She was just simply amazing. Hugs and love to all of you , Alanna - Posted by: Alanna Holroyd (niece) on: Apr 05, 2016
