Man, there are so many stories. SO many stories and moments.

I think for me, what I'll miss the most is how you always looked out for me. Whenever there was an event or a writing opportunity that you couldn't make, you always reached out and extended that to me. I feel like I never said thank you enough for that. If it wasn't for you, there are so many people and experiences I would've missed out on. Whether it was Day & A Dream, YB Media, HoustonStyle, you ALWAYS had my back.

I know what you did for me, writing wise, you did for so many others in other ways as well. Whether it was community service or connecting folks to the right people or even just opening up your place to folks. You had such a good and giving heart, Cecilia. That's gonna be missed so much.

Cecilia was on our team at Nalco Champion. She was a bright light and her personality was so genuine. She was a talented writer, but more importantly, she was a thoughtful person. She was always willing to push herself and to develop. She made public speaking in our Toastmasters club a commitment. She was a leader in employee resource groups as well: one focused on support for military personnel and one focused on the advancement of people of African descent. She made her mark on the company. Cecilia had a way of letting challenges roll off her. They didn't steal her focus. She took care of her business. She was always helpful and raising her hand to assist, a team player. Her external beauty was matched by her lively spirit. She touched our team and our company with her leadership and she'll be missed. My prayers of comfort are with her husband and family.
