To Celine's family, Celine and I seemed to randomly run into each other. It was usually at a restaurant. We would hug and ask how our families were. She was a very sweet lady. I am so sorry for your loss. It's a huge one as Celine was beautiful inside and out. I can't stress enough what a wonderful person she was. You all are in my prayers.

To Celine's family: My heart goes out to you. Your mom was one of the sweetest, kindest persons I ever knew. I don't ever recall her not having a smile on her face. I will never forget the look on her face when I went to get my mother's birth certificate, and she had to break the news to me that Mom was a year older than anyone knew. As a sweet cousin, she had to laugh, and said she was sure Mom would take it well! She was right! Hugs to you all. We now have another angel looking out for us!
