Celia always brought joy to my day as my patient. We always talked about our love for our cats and found other topics to laugh about. I will miss our dental appointments together - God bless you Celia

Celia was a true professional in her field; I learned so much from her! I will also miss our annual exchange of holiday greetings discussing families, friends, and pets.

Celia was one of the first people I met at ACS. When I interviewed, she gave me the editing sample! She said she would give me a good recommendation. Celia was also my trainer. Tough but fair. I have always been proud she trained me. We had the same dual-degrees, which seemed unique at the time. She loved cats and enjoyed a good glass of wine. We visited a few times after she retired, when she was doing a bit of freelance work. Grateful she was part of my life journey.

Celia was my trainer at ACS, mentor, and friend. We had a shared love of kitties. I will miss her.
