My heart aches for her family …there is an emptiness that will forever be there , and also in my life ..she touched your heart …
I was so blessed to have had her be in my life her strength ..and power of feelings of caring for so much came through in every word she spoke …we must take up her battles and continue on doing them in her name …it was important to her as we loved her we need to honor what she stood for and that was for anything we see wrong …have a voice and fix it ! God bless , let’s keep her legacy alive …

I had Ceci in my high school English class. She and I had many conversations about her life, her challenges and her goals. I continued to see her when she worked at a nail salon where she kept me updated about her life. She was an amazing young woman, a beautiful soul, one of those students I will never forget. My deepest sympathy to her family on the loss of such a bright light.
