    So sad to hear of Celeste's passing. I worked with her at as an RN at Menorah Medical Center in Kansas CIty, Missouri on 3 North, a neurology unit, in 1988-89. There were 4 of us "young" nurses who worked the evening shift . We were a tight knit group who also enjoyed time together outside of work. She was a fabulous nurse who was kind to all of her patients and co-workers. Fly high Celeste, heaven gained another angel. Prayers to her family.

    My deepest sympathy to Celeste's family. She was my angel when I spent time in CCU. She was thoughtful, caring, and such a dedicated nurse. She made me laugh when I wanted to cry and she wouldn't let me give up when I was exhausted. She was truly a blessing in my life and I will always honor her.
