Thanks Laura, that's a great picture.  I had the great pleasure of 
meeting Cecil at that wedding.  I'll never forget our buddies Mike P. 
and Al B. carrying Cecil up a flight of stairs in his wheelchair like 
he was the King of England.  Cecil got a laugh out of that...especially 
when he walked back down 'em on his own two legs!  Ha!  The man could 
land a one-liner like nobody's business and proceeded to do so the 
whole weekend.

When someone I love dies, I often go over all the unfinished business.  
Cecil pulled me aside at the wedding, took my hand, and told me how sad 
he was about my son, under the influence of the evil ex, not wanting to 
live with me.  He told me he just knew my little boy would be back.  He 
was right--Seth called in November, after three years, and wanted to 
come home for good.  I forgot to tell Cecil that, but I know he 
would've shared my joy, just as he shared all his friends joys and 
sorrows in his caring way.

I'll miss you Cecil, my friend.  It was an honor to know you.

Julie
