I will always remember Mrs. Celeste for being the best boss and mentor I have ever had. She placed her trust in me and I will always be grateful for that. I would always call her "Mrs. Kuehne or start my emails with "Mrs. Kuehne" and I will never forget the email she sent to me and said "Rachel, you can call me Celeste, I mean I know I am old enough to be your mother but still.." I laughed so hard. I went from calling her Mrs. Kuehne to Mrs. Celeste. I still can't drop the Mrs. I hope that is good enough ;) I will miss her dearly. Prayers for her and her family!
Celeste is a very big part of my memories of growing up on Tulip Drive, Girl Scouts, and high school. Celeste was a great friend with a positive outlook and a beautiful smile. I am heart broken to hear of her passing. Love and prayers to Mrs. Lea and all of Celeste's family.
Celeste was such an encourager. She had a quick wit and always managed to find the humor in even the most stressful situations. I will miss her greatly.
Celeste was always the cousin I looked up to and admired, from the time we were little riding horses and going on treks through the sand dunes and the woods in the country, until we were teenagers and interested in makeup and boys, and through our college and adult years when she showed me how to be a great mom and appreciate life. It's too soon for her to be gone. Life goes by fast and in ways that are unexpected, but the way she touched so many will live on in our hearts.
