Condolence From: Mary Kay Steffes-Schmitz
Condolence: Bob, Lynn, Dawn, Deana, Steve , all your spouses, children, grandchildren and family members of Cils siblings, nieces, nephews and on and on. It's so hard to lose a loved one. She was a very special loving person, so full of love. She will be missed, even if we didn't visit her much, she is loved so very much. I'm sure she's looking at each of you smiling now. Love to all, with my prayers, Mary Steffes-Schmitz

Condolence From: John Duff
Condolence: Cil – My sister will be missed. Fromm my early years remembering back how spirited and living she was. Cil married and started her family very young, and I remember how much all of us missed her as she left. As the years moved on and with her family they returned closer to home, making it easier to visit. I remember many of those visits how gracious and giving she was. I always felt at home around her. In later years as her health began to diminish it became more difficult to communicate and visit. I am happy I was able to be there with her shortly before her passing, and am happy knowing she is now with her husband Bob, sisters Bunny and Sharon, and parents Bernie and Addie. Thank you Cil for being the person you were. For being such a role model for so many. I love you and look forward to the day I see you again.

Condolence From: Bernie Duff
Condolence: Some people may say that when a person dies, they have written the final chapter in the Book called Life, but I say, especially to you, my Sis, that the final chapter will play out among those of us you have temporarily left behind. Through those people whom you have touched, and I will add that this number is a considerable one, you have passed along your love, the lessons that YOU learned in life, the softness of your touch, your undying faithfulness--even when you have been wronged, your forgiveness, your faith in all things from your God to the ones you loved...or not, your ability to always place others before yourself and so much more. In your children, and grandchildren and friends and neighbors, these qualities have been passed and will live on. I know that I speak for many people who carry your love and will try to be the ambassador on earth as you have been these past 75 years. I love you, my sister and consider myself to be the luckiest of lucky having been a part of your life and know that someday, you will be there with that huge smile greeting me one final time! Fly high, sis!

Condolence: Cil - what a special friend you were for so many years! All the good times we had,, all the heartaches we shared, and all the prayers we said together will never be forgotten. Now, you can dance and sing with the angels - and Bob - and Fran - and my mom, and all the other saints in Heaven. Pray for me dear friend in your dwelling of glory.
