Celeste was a wonderful, beautiful, person and an outstanding Grandma. She always made me feel a welcome part of any family gathering and it was a great pleasure to have known her since our families were joined. I will miss her heartfelt hug whenever we met and her love for our grandchildren. My deepest sympathy at the loss all of you feel. Her memory will be in your hearts forever.
Love to all,
