    To the family of Celeste … I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to you at this sad time. My mother, Doreen, was a resident at OBKP for two months before passing away in January. I will never forget Celeste’s visits to mum’s room and the kind gestures which she extended, even amidst her own confusion, during some difficult times.

    May she rest in peace.

    Angela
