Celeste was a beautiful, angelic girl. She was always smiling and happy. Too good for this world perhaps because there can be no other explanation for her leaving us all too soon.

Celeste was about the most kind person I think I ever met. So genuine and honest, she never seem to worry about anything and she was always smiling. I first met Celeste at Kino Junior High, she then went to Mt. View and I went to Westwood. Even after going to different high schools ever time I saw her she was so happy to see me. My thoughts and energy are with her family and friends at this time and always. This one will be missed greatly

Celeste Wahl…I knew the name the moment I heard it. I had just seen her not too long ago, we ran into each other at ASU and talked briefly, class was about to start. We knew each other at Kino Junior high and we shared a few classes together here and there. My mind is not to keen in the mornings but that’s when we had orchestra together. I don’t recall much, only that she was always first chair. I can envision her playing; she had such a stern concentrated look concatenated with a dab of finesse. Her ability to play was only rivaled by her kindness. Celeste Wahl was genuinely kind. As time has passed I realized that it is such a rarity to find people who hold values that Celeste Wahl has held. It is with such a heavy heavy heart that I have come to hear this horrible news. The loss is immeasurable, my deepest condolences to those that are closest.

Celeste is very special. She was in the Isaiah institute class with me, and she was always a beautiful addition to the day. I know that she is loved by many, and I know that this special love will continue eternally.



My sincerest condolences to those who loved Celeste. I know that she is eager to be with you again.
