Dear Reef family, Celeste and I go back to the early 80"s when we worked together at the JCC for many years. I just came across the announcement in our Jewish Community Newspaper and was caught off guard and upset to hear this news. We had lots of good times when we worked together, and those memories are still very much with me as I think about her. My Sincere Condolences to you all, she was awesome !
