My dearest friend of over 70 years, Ceil and I shared many many adventures and family time together, beginning at Our Lady Of Sorrows in 1936, first grade, and throughout our lives, raising families.
She will be missed.

Remember what a good time we had together at Palermo"s Restaurant when Bernie came in from California? As always, it was so good to be together. Love

My thoughts & prayers go out to all the Burke Family - immediate family, non-blood relatives and anyone else that truly enjoyed Ceil as much as I did!

She was a treat to have at any gathering and her heart of gold shined through in every conversation! I loved her little giggle and 'Oh now, Trish you little stinker' every time I teased her. I will truly miss that and her very much!

Love,
Tricia McConville
