God saw her
getting tired
When a cure was not to
be.
So peaceful and free from
pain,
We could not wish her back
To suffer that again

thereafter were spent at their cabin in Cascade and on trips
to California to be with her daughter in the winters.
Cecilia was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
