It's like losing another mother for me. My Tia Celia was such a giving and kind hearted person. If she wasn't at our house on the weekends, my Mom and Dad and brothers and I would be at there home. We would visit for hours and had so much fun. These 2 family's were inseparable. She always made us feel welcome'd. She always had a smile. I will always cherish the memories I have close to my heart of my Tia. R.I.P Tia celia, you will greatly be missed. I love You!
