I would like to send my sympathy to Cecils family. I will be out of town and not able to attend his services. Cecil was the sweetest man to me and a wonderful grandfather. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. May knowing he is with his love, your mother, ease your hearts.

Every day

You might not be able to see me
in the room or across the hall
And it may seem at times
that I'm not around at all
But I am still here with you
every step of the way
I can see all the things you do
and hear all the words you say
I am closer than you know
and I am always near by
You may not hear my voice
or see the smile in my eyes
You might think I am not there
when you're reminiscing with me
Or feel my tender loving care
when you are missing me
But I am all around you
and I can hear your prayers
Not a single day passes by
when I am not there

Amy, I wrote this for my father when my mom died.
I wanted to share it with you. Cecil was a kind and generous man
and will be missed by all.

Candle

God has called home a saint for sure when my brother in law Cec passed. He was such a kind and gentle soul and now has joined the love of his life,my sister Marilyn. He was truly a gift to our family and will be missed. My nieces and nephews have several angels watching over them and now a very special one.
Rest in peace Cec. We will see you again some day.

My heartfelt sympathy to Cecil's family. I haven't seen Cecil for many years, but always remember his big smile and friendly nature. We are double cousins and remember all the good times we had growing up, especially the Duffy reunions. To refresh your memory, I am the daughter of Madlyn and Vincent Duffy. Sending much love to the family.

To the family of Cecil Duffy,

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your father.
Cecil was a double first cousin to our father Clarence W. Duffy. So Sad to hear of his passing, the Duffy name will not be the same without Cecil....

God Bless,

The children of Clarence and Barbara Duffy

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.I think I was about 16 when I met Cece,one of the nicest men I've ever met. He was always very kind and easy going. The same as his sisters and brothers. Nice family.
