Celeste, I can see your smile right now and your eyes dancing with pure love as you speak of your little girl. No time to chit chat rushing out the door after work to pick her up from school. That was always priority! My sincere condolences to Celeste's Family...

I worked with Celeste. I already miss being able to just pop into her cubicle and hear her laughter and stories. She knew just what to say to make one feel so comforted and loved. I feel so blessed to have been part of her life.

Everytime I saw Celeste she always had a smile on her face! I don't think I ever saw her not smiling. She was such a sweet and kind person. Just talking to her made you feel so happy even if you were having a bad day. And how she loved her daughter.... you could just see it when you would ask her how she was doing. The love that you would see in her eyes and hear in her voice when she talked about her. Her daughter was her pride and joy. To Celeste family, please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences and know that Celeste will be deeply missed here at CalPERS.

Mike & Megan,
We have all lost such a great person. Working with Celeste was always a great reason to go to work, she was always happy, smiling and so giving and understanding....that the work didn't seem so bad. I'll never forget how she just lit up when her presious gift Megan was born. Only God knows why he calls us to join him but i believe when he does he must really need an Angel. Mike & Megan may God, Family & friends provide you the strength and love you all will need now and in the future. Celeste will always be in our hearts and thoughts and will be missed so much.
God Bless you all.

My Dear Precious Friend Celeste,
Now who will be my comic relief, my cheerleader, my counselor, my friend who always has the right thing to say for any and all situations? You have always been there for me, when I was happy, sad, celebrating or just cracking up with laughter. You were everything to all of us and more. A fantastic worker that could do the same job as me in half the time. I miss working with you and daily seeing your happy face. I hope you are going to meet me at the gates in heaven with a good joke and laughter to last throughout eternity. I love you and will join so many others in missing you, until we meet again.

Even though I barely knew Celeste, I did know that she was one of the kindest , sweetest people you could have ever met. Her infectious laugh and her beeming smile will be missed by all who knew her. She was taken away way from her family at a very young age, but rest asured Mike, memories will keep her alive in your daughters heart and in her life forever. Rest in Peace Celeste.

Celeste was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known. Always a great sense of humor. It is so sad she has been taken from us at such a young age. I know her husband Mike and daughter Megan met the world to her.

I enjoy reflecting back on all the good times we had and I know she's in gods hands now.

We will all miss you dear lady.

My Dear Aunt Celeste (Aunt Mess), I just saw you two weeks ago and now this...I can't believe you're gone. You were one of those rare people in this world who truly cared more about others than yourself. This world was a better place with you in it, and we were fortunate to have you in our lives, if even for such a short time. We all will miss your infectuous laugh, your kindness, and your pure spirit. May you rest in peace knowing that your family and friends will help guide your beloved husband and daughter through this difficult time. I love you Aunt Mess.
