So sorry for your loss Jamie, I have heard so much about her. Through you, and my mom. My mom knew her and Linda very well. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Glenn and I will be at the viewing tonight.

Oh, how I shall miss the many conversations we had on our shared front deck at Bull River Bluff. Because I live so far away, I was only able to be at BRB infrequently, but a better neighbor I will never have. Due to distance, and my own family obligations, I regret that I am unable to pay my respects and condolences in person, but I have met most of you, and I think that each of you knows the high regard and affection I had for Cecile. I guess I should say "She's in a better place," but in my heart I think that #128 and #130 Bull River Bluff was a fine enough place for BOTH of us, darn it. Thanks for sharing Cecile with me. Sincerely, Kathleen
