I am so saddened to hear of this. What a shock. John, I am so very sorry for yours and your family's (and Celestine's family) pain. We appreciate so deeply that you took the time to let us know. She was always so sweet and positive in her posts, always complimenting and encouraging others. Please know you and your loved ones will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear John,

I was so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. It is sobering to be reminded to the reality of these operations and the fact that they impact far beyond the individual.

Wishing you the strength to stay strong through this difficult time and thanks for selflessly writing to this forum.
