"Mum...I know you'd be saying to me, move on, but you are in my thoughts daily. All the little stuff, like how I hold my fork. When the kids don't listen I say, "It's like talking to a brick wall!".

"Dear Roger and family, Celia was a wonderful intelligent woman. She enjoyed life and being married to Roger. Of course, her children were her passion. She was blessed to watch them grow up and produce many grandchildren.We will miss the gleam in her eye, the smile on her face, and the sound of her Scottish brogue.Michael and Ann Farnell"
"Roger and family- My deepest sympathy in the loss of a truly wonderful person. My fondest memories are being neighbors when our children were growing up. Celia was always such a thoughtful, considerate, vibrant person. May the memories help to sustain you through this very sad time."
"Dear Dozois family, I am so very sorry for your loss. As a childhood friend of Robert's, I have fond memories of Celia. She wasn't like my other friends' mom, serving us tater-tot hotdish and freezies. At Robert's house, we got crepes and seedless watermelon (a rare delicacy in 1989.) Her wit and Scottish accent made her seem even more "exotic" to this small town Minnesota girl. Yet she was always very relatable and kind as well. The world has lost a gem of a lady.May many happy memories bring you comfort in this difficult time."
"Dozois family, I was so saddened to hear of Celia's recent death. She was an amazing woman and I am blessed to have known her. What I will always remember about Celia was her vibrant singing, her many freckles, her zest for life and will cherish the short visits with her during her illness. She is a person that I will never forget. Remember the many great memories and share them for these can never be taken from you and they will then live forever. My deepest sympathy and God Bless you all. Until we meet again...."
