To all of Devil’s family, I am sorry for your hurting hearts. Praying for your comfort and peace. Cecil was a very good friend to me and I will miss him dearly. Met him and your mom at the store I worked at in Plainwell years ago. He and I became close after her passing, and I looked forward to his visits at the casino where I work now. He is a good hearted man, and I am grateful to have known him. I am glad that he and Paula are reunited now, I know how much he missed her. Blessings as you take them back to their special place down south to their favorite place he told me about to put them both to rest. I know he tried to take her there a couple times, and just couldn’t bring himself to let her go. You rest easy Cecil, well deserved. Thanks for all the keychains Love love

Greg and Lisa,

Cathy and I are so sorry for your family on the passing of Cecil. He and Paula were always so nice to us when we would see them. I always enjoyed talking about fishing and hunting with Cecil. I know it was tough on him when Paula died, so I’m sure it is of some comfort knowing they are together again. I’m sure this is a difficult time for your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
