Celina touched many lives in all her years helping others, and truly made a positive difference for so many people. Her loving support helped me through some difficult times and meant a lot to me. She faced her challenges over the past two years with a strong faith in God. Our comfort comes from knowing she has found in His arms the peace she sought for so long, and is reunited with her parents and loved ones in Heaven. We will miss her, and pray for God's healing grace for her family and loving friends.

I had the honor of meeting Celina about 12 years ago while working at St. Johns River Hospital. Barbara Davis, Celina and I enjoyed working together and I learned so much from both of them! Celina was a very caring, empathetic and knowledgeable professional. I was glad to have had the opportunity to work with her then and years later at ValueOptions. She'll be greatly missed. My sincere sympathy to her close friends and family.

Celina was a great person and a wonderful friend. She tried very hard to be brave and weather a storm that was so hard for her to bear. I try to take comfort in the fact that she is no longer hurting. I feel very lucky that Celina touched my life. I will miss her and her wonderful sense of humor very much.
