Dear Celia, I am forever grateful that I knew you growing up. You were a happy, caring person who saw the good in everyone. My brother Steve and I remember those childhood days when you would babysit us, you and your husband Nick.  

My condolences to your family.

My Celia!

I want you to know that I will forever cherish all the phone calls we shared and all the advice you gave me so many times in my life.  I was going through some pretty touch times and there you were to lend me your advice and to make me feel so much better about everything.   You called me every night for weeks!  Thank you for that my dear sweet cousin.   Thank you so very much!

Thank you too for coming to see Dad when he was so very sick.  He always called you his little sister.  He loved you so much.  So did my mom.   I still have and proudly display the picture from your wedding when mom and dad stood up for you guys that you made for me.   

You are forever in my heart my Celia.  Kiss all those Peralta's and Vigil's for me.  Especially my Ruth, Irene and my mom.  Rest in peace my beautiful cousin.  Soar high!  We will see each other again one day. 

All my love!
Susan Ann Peralta-Huminik

Dear Celia,
Though you lost your memory of me, I believe you remember me in your heart. I miss all those years of conversations, your laugh, your cries, your stories, your stay over with me, and our visits in Gallup. I had so much fun dancing with you. You were true to yourself and your family. God bless your family and rest in genuine peace.
Sincerely and with love, Elizabeth (Liz) and family
