Grieving, Healing, and Surviving -Celeste Needs Your Support

Hi, my name is Celeste, and I’m reaching out because I’m going through the hardest period of my life. My beautiful grandmother, Antoinette Bouchard, has passed as of May 5th.

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved grandmother has passed away. She was a devoted mother of two, and a proud grandmother to four. More than anything, she was the heart of our family.

A lifelong homemaker, she dedicated herself to raising not only her own children but also helped raise my sister and I with unconditional love and patience. Her warmth touched everyone she met—whether it was through the meals she cooked with joy, the stories she told about her parents and brother, or her boundless ability to make a friend out of a stranger.

She was a force of love, generosity, and laughter. If you needed anything, she was the first to offer help. She believed in showing up for people—and she did, over and over again.

In her final days, her one wish was to be laid to rest alongside her parents in the family plot. We are raising funds to help cover the costs of her cremation and burial, so we can honor that simple, powerful request.

Anything you can give—no matter the amount—will go directly toward helping us fulfill her final wish and give her the peaceful rest she deserves. Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your love during this difficult time.
