    Celia Patti was one of a kind. Her courtesies to me when I was a college student working at KLWN were a typical gesture from her. As I came to know her and her husband Jim, I saw them as a couple with integrity and humor and generosity. I am relieved that her struggle has ended. She made a difference in this world.

    My sincere sympathy for your loss. During this time, it is especially important to draw close to God thru prayer, for the Bible promises, “he himself will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:22) Be encouraged by reflecting on the promises that he has made concerning the hope of seeing your wife and mother again and living with her in a world without tears where sickness and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4)

    Jim. Val and Bridget –

    I am so very sorry to hear about Celia’s passing. She was truly an amazing woman who touched many lives, especially mine. Celia was a part of my family as are all of you. She was always there and always cared. Always doing so much for so many.

    The world is a far better place because she was a part of it and she will be missed by all. My thoughts and my prayers are with you.

    Love, Dixie and the rest of the Shreves family in South Dakota
