My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I will always remember Cecilia fondly and I have wonderful memories of the times that we spent together sharing about our sons and grandchildren! She loved her boys so much and her grandchildren were the light of her life. I am so glad that I got to know her not only as a co-worker at ASU but as a very special friend. She leaves behind a wonderful family and I know you will all be a great source of comfort and support to one another during this difficult time.
