To the Heil family,
I came across Cecelia's name when researching my great-aunt's surgery (Ruth Tucker, kidney transplant). I wish I had started sooner, I would have loved to meet her. She was one of the angels who gave Ruth a few more precious years. God bless Cecelia and the family she leaves behind. My sympathies, Susan Tucker-Pierce
