Next to Jesus, family was of utmost importance to Cecile. If you hung out with the family, you were treated like family with many a lecture to be shared. Wonderful times were had in that home in Pennsylvania. It is a cherished time for the Carmody Clan who grew up there. If you were fortunate enough to know Cecile, please share the many good memories. She will be missed by all who were blessed enough to know her.
