Dear Regina, Rebecca & family,
I write to you in sadness for the loss of your Mother. The years I had knowing Celene will be cherished always. The memories of Fairview, the occasional visits, the church and the bond we had as sisters in Christ will not be forgotten. Celene spoke of you Regina & Rebecca often. She was proud of both of you and your accomplishments in life. I will remember Celene as a lady of a "gentle and quiet spirit" and look forward to our blessed hope when...
