I am so sorry to hear about Celeste, she was one of my first real friends we worked together at 16 and we had the best memorable times. I wish we did not drift apart but I thought of you always..May you rest in peace.

Michael...I am still in shock and deeply saddened by the news about Celeste. The last time I saw you both was at Bar Bacon in 2014. What fun we had, as always, with Teresa, Ed, and the gang. Those gatherings were like a shot in the arm after months of work-related stress--a time we could cut loose and be our silly selves. Celeste, with her rosy cheeks and bright smile, was a luminous presence during those gatherings. I had hoped we would all get together again before too long, but life plays dirty tricks on us when we least expect it. My heart aches for you, Lucas, your families, and all who loved Celeste. She will be sorely missed.

Michael and Lucas, Tom and Maria, Tom and Joe,
Leah, Tom and I will always honor, in our memory, Celeste’s strength and courage. We are so very sorry that Celeste endured what she did and that you are all left without such a beautiful person; a hole in your heart. We’ll remember her always. She’s left behind an amazing son. A living tribute to the kind of mother and person she was. Undeniably committed, loving and kind.

We walked to school together we took the bus together, we sat under the Christmas tree together, we went fishing with dad together we ate to many peaches together. You always understood and supported, always had my back. I can't say how much I'll miss you with words but I can say there won't be a day that I won't think about you, your smile, your love of life and family. I love you

Celeste, You were tough, brave, smart, clever, hilarious, curious, dignified and beautiful my friend.
For all those times we had...sitting on a dock enjoying lunches, driving through a snow storm or two (you were a very fast driver!), going on a London adventure, working till 3 am and walking the streets of NYC. So many shopping trips. So many laughs.
Thank you for being my friend, Mary Ellen
