Sorry for the loss of your mother. I dated your Uncle Robert in the 50’s while I was at GSTC. He was a friend of my college roommate. I know how much he thought of his family. May you find comfort as you are going through this difficult time.

Sincere sympathy to Artie, Melony and their families on the loss of Celia. We have fond memories of cheering our kids sporting events at Spaulding High School in years past, working on Mothers' Club events, and she and Arthur were even our neighbors for a short while. Our prayers are with you all.

Melony, Artie and family, A woman of great love and devotion to family, friends and to anyone who knew her. Celia was one of the sweetest people I had ever met. My husband and I would run into her at the store and there was always a conversation about the white paint and joking about everything. My daughter always considered her a grandmother. Celia you were one of a kind. Cherish the memories as they last a lifetime. " May she soar like an Eagle fly like a Dove as she watches over the ones that she loves . " Rest in peace Celia you will be greatly missed.
