Sister Cecile had been a part of my life since the age of 7/8. We remained in touch throughout the years, and her death is keenly felt. I hold many memories dear to my heart, and these shall comfort me in the days to come.



Justine E. Peña





Sister Cecile became a part of my life through Justine. She always showed interest in anything and everything that pertained to me and my life. We would communicate in Spanish which always proved interesting.

Her death is a loss which will be felt for a long time.
