  • Cecile Forest and I met one day when I was working at my job and had gone to the shipping door of my employer. Cecile was on her way to work at the building that was located beside the building where I worked, Almost every working day, I would say hello to her as she walked past on her way to work. One day she stopped and asked me to go to a party that the family was having for some occasion. I agreed to go. We started dating for several months. She began hinting about marriage and looking in Eatons and the Bay windows at wedding dresses etc. As I was five years younger, I was not interested in getting married.. Even though I knew that breaking off our relationship would be cruel, but I decided that by continuing on was wasting her time in finding a man her age to marry. I just became aware of her passing while checking the obits in the computer. Ii see that she did marry an American man and they had a child. I was pleased that she did find a man to marry and had a child born to her. Cecille was a good person and will be enjoying her eternal life in Heaven.
