    Henry and family,
    I am sorry for your loss. Cecile was a very special, kind hearted friend! I have a lot of great memories with her at church and sewing with her on Monday night and other times we could! I will miss her. ! She did so many great things and her love of quilting and sewing was a joy! I learned a lot from her and we did a lot . It is all very special to me. She will be greatly missed! She has her angle wings now for a new journey. I know everyone will miss her but I am sure she will stop in to see us. I wants to get there to send her off with a piece of fabric needle and thread but I don’t think I will get there in time. Henry my prayers are with you in the time of loss! You are a special person!
    Love to all
    Collette Gage and the alpacas

    Henri and family,
    My sympathy to all of you.
    There is much to say about Cecile. I met her in year 2000 when I brought knitted hats to the Interfaith Stitcher’s meeting. Right away Cecile said, now you are a member of this group. She taught me the meaning of giving. Whatever we made, the intention was to give it away. Cecile was contacted by many people. Articles for babies, hats and mittens, scarfs too, for Project Head Start, blankets for DCF, nursing homes, hospitals etc., the list goes on. This group of women still gather and I’m proud to be a member. When Cecile was unable to continue, she turned her group over to Blanche, who continues her legacy. Cecile will always watch over us.
    Rest in peace my friend.

    Henri, I met you and Cecile thru Interfaith Stitches. Being nervous when I walked in with a little bit of yarn and plastic knitting needles looking for someone to teach me how to knit, Cecile met me with a warm attitude that made me feel like I belonged. Her genuine concern for others and to help the community made her a great leader. It’s her warm, caring giving spirit that keeps Interfaith Stitches going even today. We will always love her.
