  1. Cille touched so many lives and any one who was blessed to have known her will always cherish her and her smile and warm hospitality.

  2. Deeply saddened to hear of this lady’s passing. It has been a good many years since I have known her. Last saw her when I was a teenager. She was just a lovely lady. A truly wonderful person. My heart goes out to her family for their loss.
