Connie,
You will think this odd but Sunday, 11/14/10/I thought of you and your sister Grace. I have experienced what it is like to lose my parents and yet we seem to endure. You will always have her with you in your heart.

Dear Bottari Family, I was saddened on hearing about the loss of your mother and grandmother from my sister-in-law Anne Celi Cavanaugh. Connie was my late father-in-law, Stephen J. Celi, Sr.'s sister and my late husband,Stephen J. Celi, Jr.'s
aunt. It has been many years since I have seen any of the Bottari family but dearly remember those earlier times when I visited the Hull House with my in-laws -to-be and Nona. My son, Kevin, attended Chip and Lisa's wedding and took pictures for me of the "Celi Sisters".
Those days back in the '60s when I was
living in the Boston area, and later visiting, are very vivid in my memory.
You are in my prayers. All my love,
Mary Doyle Celi, Glendale, CA.

To the Bottari Family and all Connie's loved ones,

Just a quick note to express my deepest sympathy on Connie's passing.

I am Cosma Celi Ando's youngest daughter. My mother was very close to all her cousins. The Celi clan had very close ties...We can be proud to be their descendants.

So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
