Thank you DAVE sharp for all your hard work and dedication!
Cecelia and I were high school sweethearts. After high school we went our separate ways, Ceil went to Bingham General Hospital School of Nursing and I into the United States Air Force. I was home on leave and stopped at her house to see how she was doing. Her mom told me that she was away at school. I decided to pay her a visit and the relationship was rekindled. We were married in 1969. We lived in Balston Spa, NY for about a year, moved to Rome, NY for about nine years, 1979 brought us to Tonawanda. During those years our family was growing; Wayne, Mathew, Heather and Brian.
We became members of St. Francis in 1979. There are so many memories of the activities and ministries over the past forty years. Lawn Fetes, Keeping track of Bingo hours while Ceil worked the refreshments, Cutting grass at the cemetery with Tony Voell and Bob Hill, Building a pipe organ with Bob Hull, Parish Council, Trustee, and Columbarium file tender. God has blessed our family in so many ways. Being a part of the St. Francis Family is just one of them. |
