We would like to express our deepest sypmathy to all of Kris’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Our prayers are with Libby and her family today. Libby is a wonderful friend to my son, Taylor Newby. He has shared meals and times with the Celich family and has told me of Libby’s mother, Kristina’s kindness to her many friends. Taylor and I send our deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts to Libby and her loving family.
We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Kris.s family and although we did not know her we have followed her thru Erin for years since they were in school in Lanham. Sincerely, The Balodimos Family

To Al, Sam, Libby and Albert, Know that my prayers and thoughts are you with during this very sad time. Kristina was my idol when we were all young girls …the older, cuter, smarter cousin!

We remember the little girl that you were and the beautiful woman that you became. We will miss you here and now but will meet you again some day. Love, Joan & Paul
Kristina is one of the smartest and funniest people I’ve ever known. I’ll never forget sitting with her during LAX games and both of us providing a running commentary on the plays when neither of us knew the game at all. The world has lost a devoted wife, mother, artist and friend. I will miss her terribly.
Dear Al and family. I offer my sincere warm wishes to you all. I know just mere words are not enough to express my thoughts to you at this difficult time. Kristina was a wonderful person, and you were very blessed to have her in your life. I am so very sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Bradley A. Lust

Al,Sam, Libby & Al III Our deepest condolences. Our prayers are with you. You’ve lost a best friend, super mom and great person. We wish you peace and strength now and the days ahead.
To Al and family: Colin and I are so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I had a chance to speak to your mom at the McLean High talent show and she just glowed with pride about you, Albert. She was a lovely lady. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

In Loving Memory of Kris Celich, Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend: God looked around His garden and found an empty space. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, and lifed you to rest. God’s garden must have be beautiful, for He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew that you were in pain. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered ‘Peace Be Thine.’ It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. Al, Libby, Samantha, Albert, and all of Kris’s family: Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Joan (Sargies) Aloupis
Dear Al, Please know that you and the children are in my thoughts and prayers. Kris was taken from us too soon. May she rest peacefully in heaven. All my love to you, Therese
