I’m so shocked to hear this, Blake. I’m letting the bridge group know as this caught everyone by surprise. Prayers and thought are with you! Such a great gal!
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Celinda was a beautiful person – I can still hear her laughter as we played bridge together in the 1990’s.
Celinda was a wonderful lady , she will be missed
