Darling Celia, dearly loved by all friends and family for her generosity of spirit and her love of conviviality. When we first met I was in awe of her acting talent and always have felt honoured to be her friend. So cruel that she, so vital and intelligent, should be stricken with Alzheimers disease. I loved her and will always miss her steadfast loyalty and friendship.
