Cecy, was a beautiful, energetic, generous lady who loved to dance, travel, and cook. She will always be remembered as the love of my life, and the “chispa” of our family. She had a special kind of charm, and could connect with anyone regardless of race, religion, or language and she leaves behind friends around the world.
