It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Celaida “Chela” Alvia. Her sudden departure has left us reeling in shock and grief as we process the loss of a woman who meant so much to her family and friends. Chela’s life was one filled with warmth, love, and an incredible spirit that touched everyone who knew her. Her memory will forever live on in our hearts, and while we face the difficult task of saying goodbye, we find comfort in knowing that she will always be with us, in the memories and the love she shared with all those around her.
Chela was a woman who radiated kindness and compassion, always looking out for those she loved. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone around her feel special and valued. Whether it was through her laughter, her support, or simply her presence, Chela had a way of making life better for others. She was a devoted daughter, sister, and friend, always willing to lend a hand, share a kind word, or offer support in times of need. She lived her life with a sense of purpose and love for her family and friends, always putting others before herself.
Her unexpected passing has left a gaping hole in the hearts of those who knew her. It feels as though the world has lost a shining light, a person whose generosity and kindness made it a better place. Chela’s family is particularly devastated, as they were fortunate enough to experience her love and care on a daily basis. Her family describes her as the glue that held them together, always organizing gatherings, staying in touch with loved ones, and making sure everyone felt loved and connected. She was the type of person who could always be counted on, and her loss is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be.
Chela’s passing occurred unexpectedly while she was in the Dominican Republic, and now, her family is working diligently to bring her home so that she can be given the farewell she truly deserves. Transporting a loved one internationally is a complicated and expensive process, and the family is reaching out to friends, loved ones, and the community for support during this incredibly difficult time. The financial burden of bringing Chela back home and organizing a proper farewell is overwhelming, and any contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way in ensuring that Chela is honored and given the dignified goodbye she deserves.
As we come together in grief, it is comforting to know that we are not alone in our sorrow. The outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and community members has been a source of solace during this difficult time. We have been humbled by the kindness and generosity shown by so many who have reached out to offer their condolences, share their memories of Chela, and provide support during this challenging process. The love that has been shown to Chela’s family is a testament to the incredible person she was and the impact she had on the lives of everyone who knew her.
In these moments of deep sorrow, it is important to reflect on the life that Chela lived and the legacy she leaves behind. Chela’s life was one of selflessness, love, and commitment to her family and community. She was someone who always made others feel welcome and loved, no matter the circumstances. Her presence was a gift, and her memory will continue to be a blessing for all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Chela’s family is focused on honoring her memory in the best way they know how: by ensuring that she is given a dignified and respectful farewell. They are committed to fulfilling her wishes and ensuring that her final journey is one that reflects the love and respect she so richly deserves. In this time of need, they are reaching out to the community for assistance in bringing Chela home and covering the costs of the funeral and memorial services. The financial burden is significant, but with the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals, Chela’s family believes they can give her the beautiful and meaningful farewell that she deserves.
If you are able, we ask that you contribute whatever you can to help with the transportation and funeral costs. Every donation, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated and will go toward giving Chela a farewell that honors her memory and her incredible spirit. We understand that not everyone may be in a position to contribute financially, but even sharing this message and spreading the word will be an immense help. Your support, whether through donations or simply keeping Chela and her family in your thoughts and prayers, means the world to those who are grieving.
In the days ahead, as Chela’s family works through the process of bringing her home and arranging for her final services, they are taking comfort in the love and support that has surrounded them. They are grateful for the moments they shared with Chela and the memories they will continue to cherish. Though Chela may no longer be physically with us, her love, her laughter, and her spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all those who knew her.
It is never easy to say goodbye, especially to someone as kind and loving as Chela. Her passing has left a hole in our hearts that will never be fully healed, but we will carry her memory with us always. We will remember her as the beautiful soul who brought joy, comfort, and love to all those around her. As we move through the grief, we find comfort in knowing that her legacy will live on in the love she gave and the kindness she spread.
We thank everyone who has shown support during this difficult time. Your contributions, whether financial, emotional, or simply by keeping Chela’s family in your thoughts, are deeply appreciated. As we honor Chela’s memory, we are reminded of the importance of love, family, and community, and we will continue to carry her light with us always.
Rest in peace, Chela. You were a gift to this world, and your memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved you. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
