Celeste was a joy. I worked with her for many years – she was a gifted nurse, a wonderful co-worker, a special person. Years ago, I told her that if I needed hospice, I wanted her to be my nurse – she was so good, so calming. She adored her family – her co-workers heard all about y’all! I will hold y’all in light & love. I will look to heaven every time I eat seaweed – I used to bring it her at hospice meetings. Thank you for sharing her with us. Her hospice family loved her.
Fred and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time
With deep sympathy
