Celeste you will be missed by all. I'm thankful that I met you in math class at cgcc. You were such a bright person we always made each other laugh and you always had a big smile. You always talked about your family and friends. You had a big heart. We would always help each other when we didn't understand what the heck the teacher was saying. Oh this hurts to lose a beautiful person like you. We will meet again.

Pablo, Marielena, Michelle
Our deepest heartfelt sympathy for you all. Celeste and her gorgeous smile will never be forgetten. I didnt see you all often, but I remember telling Celeste a few times that I would steal her name if I had a daughter. When I saw her at Rocio's wedding she asked my daughter Alexa if her name was Celeste! Couldnt beleive she remembered throughout the years. Celeste was a beautiful person inside and out. Our hearts ache for your loss. God Bless.

No words said can express my sympathy for your family Celeste. It pains me to see someone so young and with such a beautiful personality go. Your internal beauty and wonderful smile lit up the room. We will all miss you so much and we will never forget you but we know you are in great hands.

Mary, Pablo and Michelle - Words fail.  Celeste was a beautiful person and she will be missed by all who knew her.  Our hearts ache for you, God bless.

Your family is in my prayers. I love you and will never forget you Celeste. You truly were beautiful inside and out. Thank you for bringing all your friends together, now we all share a memory of you. Remind us of our strength because continuing our lives without you, is nothing we wish to face. Knowing that you are watching over us now is our peace of mind. Miss you...

The one thing that I will always think of when I remember Celeste is her beautiful smile.  Even when Celeste seemed to be in a bad mood she was still smiling and making jokes.  There are no words that could ever express how much I will miss Celeste and how much she will always mean to me.  God has blessed me with the most amazing friends, and although one of them is no longer able to be here she will always be in my heart.  There will never be a day that goes by that I won't remember our great times together and smile...  I miss and love you Celeste, but I know you are watching over all of us, our beautiful guardian angel.

Praying for family and friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you and loving memories to help you smile again. With our sincerest sympathy: Tessa, Larry, Quinn and Arya Swanson-Gatti.

Mary & Pablo, Words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy for you & your family at this time.  Our prayers and love are with you now and always.

A beautiful person and beautiful spirit, I understand why God wanted such a wonderful person in his presence. Rest in Paradise Celeste, you will be missed

Celeste and I were best friends in elementary school... Although our friendship didn't last past 6th grade, I never forgot the good times we had together. How she would push me off her bed when I would sleep over, and she would bust out in laughter over it. Sometimes I would let her push me off just to see her crack up. Her smile and laugh were contagious. I'll never forget the 'scary' stories she would tell me, and how I'd act scared even though I wasn't- she was someone you wanted to make happy no matter what it took. This is a tragedy in the truest sense of the word, she was an angel here on earth and now she's an angel in heaven and I'll always hold her and the memories we share close to my heart. Rip baby girl.

"TRUST in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding" - Proverbs 3:5. 

May the LORD, Pablo & Mary, give you comfort during this difficult time. You are in our prayers...GOD bless you and your family.

You would never see Celeste with a frown. She was always so sweet and full of life.She had the most beautiful smile that was very contagious. She will be missed. We all love you miss Celeste!!!

I wanted to offer my condolences to the family.  I didn't know Celeste, however, my son, Dallas, was a friend of hers.  She will truly be missed by him.  She was as beautiful as he said she was.  I hope you will find comfort in knowing that she is now a beautiful angel watching over you.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Michelle, Mary and Pablo;

Please accept our heartfelt condolences to you during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Celeste.

Sincerely,

Maggie and Daniel
