My connection to Cleo was as a volunteer with Tabitha Meals on Wheels and I had the fine fortune to work with her for a goodly number of years. Her affable way, sense of humor and patience always made my day when delivering duties called. To Chuck, Jacqueline and Michelle my condolences on the loss of this special woman.
Sincerely,
Kevin Wright
