Our thoughts and love are with the entire Ciciora family. Bill and Carl, I will remember the warmth and grace of your mom. She made me feel at ease in the Ciciora home and was always a pleasure to talk to. I still have the gavel she gave me when I graduated law school 25 plus years ago.



Take care and embrace the good memories.
