To all of you - my thoughts and prayers are with all of you and am sorry that I was unable to attend (great) Uncle Cecil's service. I am so very thankful that DeDaddy (Elmo) was able to attend. Uncle Cecil will be missed by all of us but he is going to be in the company of so many of our loved ones - God Bless each of you :)
We are keeping the Lewis family in our continued thoughts and prayers.

Genell, Joan and Denise,
I am not able to travel to the funeral, but I will be thinking of you today. Cecil will be in my prayers, along with Fred, Ted, Frank, Bill, Raymond, Mary, and Grand Dad and Grand Ma Lewis.
Cecil's smile and Lewis sense of humor will always remain as my best and happiest memories.
My best regards and prayers,
David Lewis (son of Elmo Lewis)
