Cecil lived a beautiful life, loved and was loved by a beautiful family, and influenced me in such a positive Christian way. I know the Lord is now telling him: "Well done good and faithful servant." I send my warmest greetings to the entire family along with a special thanks for making the service today available on line.
With warm regards and deep affection, Byron Nimocks

To Aunt Maddie Ruth:
I just want to let you all know that I love you so much and am praying for you often. I want you to know that I loved Uncle Cecil so very much, and I think he was one of the greatest men that ever walked the face of the earth. One thing you can say about him is that he was always the same anywhere you saw him. He always spoke to me and gave me a warm hug anywhere we were. I am so thankful to have had the privalege to call him my uncle. He was loved much by all who knew him. Especially in my family. I won't be able to make the funeral because I used all of my leave time for Mark's surgery and hospital stay, but know that I am thinking of you and love you very much.

Brother Cecil Jayroe personified christian character. His years of faithfulness has strengthened the Apostolic movement. He was obviously the model saint exemplifying an excellent spirit.
