Cecil was my dearest
close friend from the time we were 8
years old. My first boyfriend and all
through school we would date, then date
others, date, and then... all those
years. He took me to the junior prom and
we always thought we would get married.
Cecil was in the Navy and went to
Annapolis. He served aboard the USS
Enterprise and was so handsome in his
uniform. We remained friends all these
years, his mom is my second mom (she
will be 91 in January!). He eventually
landed in Co., where he got married and
had two sons and a daughter. He had his
own business and was very successful.
Always the gentleman, the good ole
fashioned kind. He had a tumor on his
pituitary gland that caused him to have
his bones grow very large, causing him
to look so different, he was so self
conscious and it broke my heart. He died
from complications from the disease way
before his time. It was the saddest day
of my life. I know that you who remember
him, remember him as so sweet, kind,
funny and extremely brilliant. I miss
him terribly but am confident I will see
him again.
