Cecil was a wonderful person whom we enjoyed seeing in our store. He was a customer everyone wanted to wait on and talk with. We will miss him greatly.
Larry and Gywnne and family, I am so sorry to hear about your lost. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. I was reading about your daughter and son, it is so hard to believe our children are old enough to be married. We both have close families and all we can hold on to at a time like this is knowing in our hearts that we will see each other again. Take care.

Kyle And I were both shocked and sadened to hear about Cecil. Our most outstanding memory of Cecil, was his smile and his most pleasant expression any time you met him. Our deepest sympathy to Betty and family. You are in our thoughts at this very difficult time. Kyle and Margaret Sutton
To the family and my friend Martin. You have my deepest sympathy as I know first hand what you are going through. I lost my father April 9 this year due to a stroke, and it was the hardest thing I ever went through. I will tell you that this is something you never get over, but your good memories will help heal your heart, and you will learn to deal with it. I had the opportunity to speak with Cecil on occasion when he would come into Silverman Co. picking something up for Terry Bros. I never saw him that he wasn’t smiling. Remember him that way.
