I am very sad to hear about Celine's passing but I am sure it is a blessing. Celine and I stayed in touch for years after my parents passed. Richard was a childhood friend of my step father Harry. They grew up in Eastern Washington. They had lots of great stories. For many years Richard and Celine would take a driving vacation to the Pacific NW every summer and they always stopped to visit my parents. They used to laugh about planning an entire trip where they did not have to stay in a hotel because they had so many friends to visit. My mom, Evelyn, and Celine became very good friends. My mom and I were able to visit Richard and Celine in their beautiful home on the Island. We also visited with Celine when she made one last trip back after she had moved to WI. I am sure that my mom will enjoy visiting with Celine again now. I hope she tells my mom that we had stayed in touch. Thanks to Celine's family for letting me know. I will change her address to Heaven in my Address Book.
