Celeste Mariani

Dear friend I miss you every single day. Tex

Today is your birthday, Aunt Cess. A few of us are celebrating this day in your honor because you always loved birthdays and helped celebrate our birthdays with great festivity.

Jeanette also wanted to remind that you are both the same age for the next six months even though you always teased about being so much younger!

Happy Birthday. We are thinking about you today and always.

Dear Aunt Cess...where were you this Christmas? We have been doing all the things you like to do...like dinners with family and friends and Christmas cheer and laughter...presents and family time. Plays and walks in Central Park. I think you are here and we see your smiling face and toasted you many times for all the great laughs and fun and wonderful dinners and certainly fond memories. Thank you! A great example for all.

Well, another friend joined you in "the other world" this month. Father Joe. The times you must be having! But, we miss you here. Your joy of life, your cooking, your laughter is so missed this Holiday season.

The NY Chapter of Silver Wings just had their annual hoilday party.Planning it without my wonderful friend and treasurer was the hardest job I've had to do all year. We missed you so much, Celeste. Love always

And here it is Thanksgiving...one of your favorite holidays. We will miss you cooking in our kitchen - laughing and enjoying family and friends this holiday.

I have many fond memories of Celeste who was a role model for all with her caring heart, energy and zest for life. I am truly richer for having had the privilege of knowing her.

Double crossings on the 707 with Celeste when I was on International Reserve...what a memory.....what a great lady.....the smile, the welcoming attitude, the total professionalism, the understanding, the love.....she will be missed by all.

Dear Cess...as I read the beautiful memories from family and wonderful friends all thoughts are similar..your smile, joy of life, shared wisdom and endless receptiveness to new experiences..I watched you live out your creed of "staying in the moment, letting go and acceptance."...I love you & miss you, Jeanette
