I'm sorry to hear about Celly. I worked with for many years, a disciplined and direct yet extremely kind person who I always enjoyed talking to. I only saw her rarely the last few years after her retirement, but always enjoyed it when I did. She was that rare person with whom you can pick up a conversation months later as if you had just left off talking to her the other day. I will miss her. She's one of the few people who always made me smile when I saw her.

When I think of Aunt Celly, I think of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, all exemplified in Aunt Celly, admired and loved by all.
