Your smile and your silly self will forever be remembered . I will cherish the memories I have of you growing up , going to rummage sales and being a great aunt and a great godmother . Fly high Snooky. Give the gang a hug from me
Celia had such a beautiful, loving soul. Knowing her has made me a better person and she will be dearly missed.
I have known Snooky for 25 years of laughter and tears. She was the alley guardian when Josh and my boys were young and continued to be a wonderful friend through our many moves. I will surely miss her but will always enjoy the memories of our fun times together.
