My Great Aunt Cel was truly one of a kind - the closest thing I had to a grandmother. As my grandmother´s sister, she filled that role with grace, love, and unwavering support. Her warmth and hospitality made everyone feel at home, and she had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen, cared for, and loved.
Aunt Cel had a heart of gold. She hand-made baby blankets for every new member of our family - a gesture that perfectly captured her thoughtfulness and dedication to those she loved. But beyond her kindness, she was also a source of joy. Cel had a natural sense of humor, an incredible ability to read a room, and she always knew the perfect moment to bring a little comedic relief.
If you´re looking for a model of how to live a life filled with genuineness, compassion, and heart - Aunt Cel was that model. I feel beyond blessed to have had her in my life, and her legacy will forever live on through the warmth she gave to all of us.
