Dear Wilma, Rob, Rodney, Tammy,

I just watched the service for Cecil.  Thank you for the stories and clear message of God's loving voice as he speaks to our hearts and mind.  I can picture your Dad in Bervie United while Rodney played the organ or at a MFM meeting in someone's house.  He always had a positive outlook on the Word of God and its meaning for us today.  He was a good neighbour, a good friend, a loving husband and father even though he was set in his ways as he raised you guys.  May the good memories bring you joy and peace in the coming days and years.  Love and prayers from my heart to yours.  Bruce

My thoughts and condolences to you, Wilma and your family at this time of the passing of Cecil. Seems he won't have to leave your farm and live somewhere else anymore.                                     May our Lord be a source of strength, comfort, peace, and cheer.   I watched the funeral today on computer.  Kinda makes up for not being able to be there. Guess all us Grade 13 gals are without men now.

Wilma and family

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Cecil. Cecil was a valuable member of Men for Missions and contributed greatly to the history of MFM. Cecil served as Ecuador Field representative 1992 - 1993, as part of the Burvey council and travelled to both Ecuador and Haiti on short-term mission trips. In 1980 Cecil was the cook for a Burvey council fundraising banquet, raising funds for Camp Pallatanga Youth camp in Ecuador. 

Wilma you and Cecil have continued to be faithful supporters of One Mission Society and Men for Missions Canada. Thank you!

Our love and prayers are with you and your family. Praying God's peace and comfort will be with you during these days and the days to come.

Message from Beatty & Barbara McLean2022-06-29 15:36:10

We have only good memories of Cecil.

Cecil and I had several similarities... we both liked to eat, for ecample.  Cecil always made sure there was plenty of food for all, and we both appreciated trying to eat plenty.

We also both liked to have fun.  Sometimes at others expense.  I well remember having many laughs with Cecil.

I expect him will have a good time in Heaven and have others enjoying it as well.

I'm sure Cecil will be happy to see how many others he influenced to see Heaven as their final destination.

I thank you Lord, for causing Cecil and me... to cross paths.

Beatty and Barbara McLean.  Fergus, ON.
