Bette Nesbitt says
Our family thought the world of Cecil and Delores. We were friends for several years after meeting at church. Cecil was so good at fixing anything needed when he & Delores would visit us in GA. He will always be a fond memory but I know he is happy in Heaven to be with Delores, my husband our former pastor and other close friends from our Indy church.
