Our deepest sympathies to Sue and Joe Celotto and Marlene’s entire family.
Mom, after 54 years of having you in my life, I’m trying to find the strength to accept you are no longer here for our family. After Dad left us only three months ago, you were all we had, but now our hearts are forever empty. Knowing that you are with Dad now and are together once again, is our only comfort. Our hearts are forever broken, but we know Dad needed you more.❤️
