Celeste was one of my younger sisters. She was a devoted mother, kind, compassionate and loving to all she knew. She will be greatly missed by all. She is now in heaven with our God, my mother and father and all our friends and relatives who have passed on. I am sorry that I didn't make it back to Chicago in time to see her, but will cherish the day when we all meet again in heaven. May God Bless You Always!

Celeste was a beautiful person. She was a strong woman full of hope and love. I will remember her fondly.

Although it is hard to lose a loved one I am glad Celeste is now at peace...she showed so much courage during her lengthy, painful illness. She was a wonderful sister and friend and will be sorely missed by all. Our memories will sustain us until we meet again one day.

Celeste was not only my sister, but my friend too. Although I will miss her terribly I am glad she is no longer suffering. I know she is now with our parents in a better place where they are all happy and looking down on all of us.

Celeste was the bravest person I ever knew. She never wanted her family to know how sick she was and she maintained a positive attitude towards her illness. Her smile will always be remembered and the joy in her voice can still be heard. I know we will all be together once again
