    I would like to express my condolences to the family of Celia. Joe, Duane, Diane and the rest of the family. I was one of Celia’s care givers at Christian Park for five and a half years that she was there. Celia was a woman that always made a person smile. All the years that I took care of Celia she was always pleasant and everyone liked her. To Celia’s family you are truly wonderful people. You are one of the most dedicated families I have ever met. Always being there when she needed you and even when you thought she didn’t know you were there. She did! To Joe you are a very special man, a dedicated and devoted husband. She loved you very much. I am very sorry for your loss, I know it doesn’t take away the pain of losing her but know that you are in our hearts and prayers at this time.

    I’m heartbroken to hear of your loss. Celia was a grand lady who touched more people in ways she never imagined. Her legacy lives through all those she loved and and those who loved her.

    A Grandmother is a remarkable woman, she’s a wonderful combination of warmth and kindness, laughter and love. She overlooks our faults, encourages our dreams and praises our every success. A Grandmother has the wisdom of a teacher, the sincerity of a true friend, and the tenderness of a mother. She’s someone we admire, respect and love very much. A Grandmother will always have a cherished place in our memories and in our hearts. She’s someone who we want every happiness, in return for the joy she always brings. A Grandmother is all the dear and precious things in life, when she’s a grandmother like mine.
