Dear Celeste Family,

I have fond memories of the Celeste family and in particular, Stella, as she was such a sweet lady. I always remember her walking on Holyoke Street stopping to chat on her way to the store.
My deepest sympathy to you on her passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
