Our hearts and sympathies are with you. Celeste was our neighbor, and in the only two years we knew her, she developed a special bond with us and especially with our young twin daughters -- who loved sharing their drawings and other creations with her. She was a dear and special person, with a wonderful spirit, and we will miss her very much.
With our love, thoughts and sympathies,
The Dreifach Family

Lord God,
you are the glory of believers and the life of the just.
Your Son redeemed us
by rising to life again.
Our Sister Celeste was faithful
and believed in our own resurrection.
Give to her the joy and blessings of life to come.
We ask this through our Lord Jeseus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen
