Debbie & Family: We spoke last week at Sunrise - I am Millie, Marcia's companion. I want you to know that my prayers and thoughts are with you and your entire family. Your mom was a really nice lady. She was always out joining in the activities until recently. She was a pleasure to know and she will be missed by all. Please keep her memory alive by remembering all the good times and I am sure there were many. I haven't known you long, but I could tell you loved your mom and she loved all of you. Whenever she was at ceramics she always made things for her grandchildren and she was always so happy with the end product. She enjoyed her life and you all should be proud of her.

Bob and I were so sorry to hear about Celine. We became so fond of her while she was at Sunrise and appreciated so much her friendship with Bob's Mom, Olga. I'm so glad we knew her. We all will miss her very much. Our deepest sympathy.
