The celebration of life for Cecilia West was perfect. Her daughter held the event at the P.A. Smith Hotel. Even though I didn’t get to visit with Cecilia very much, I know she was a very caring person. Her husband was a veteran and she truly cared for veterans. She couldn’t come to our auxiliary meetings because she and her daughter, Jennie, spent every Thursday together since her dad passed. Those Thursdays were their time. Please keep Jennie and her family in your prayers.
