I can’t think of Sis without smiling…what a great lady! She ran the race well and finished strong. She will live forever in the hearts of the many people who loved her. Goodbye, dear friend.

I am sooo very sorry for your loss. I loved her so much. Always making me feel like I was so special. I’m sure she did that with others as that was who she was. The world has lost a very special person. The family in heaven are celebrating her. They’re probably having a GREAT TIME. Prayers, hugs and love to all the family and friends. :,(

Sis was a very special lady. I have fond memories of her in Chicago. She always greeted everyone with that wonderful smile and she was always ready for fun! She was a blessing to everyone who knew her. My thoughts and prayers to Sis’ family.

She was an icon in the ER and blessed so many lives over her many years of volunteer service (staff and patients). I will forever think of dear Celeste every time I see a Miller Lite beer which she loved. Rest in peace my beautiful friend.
