Chesca Garcia is holding on to her faith as she mourns her mom Celeste’s recent passing, describing this moment as an “awful time.”
Celeste’s demise was first confirmed by the actress’s husband Doug Kramer through a tribute post on his Instagram page on Monday, April 22.
“When you look at [Chesca], she’s a complete reflection of her mom. Our momsy. Beautiful inside and out!” he began. “I’m so thankful she guided and molded Chesca the way she is, because our kids take a lot from their mom.”
Kramer recalled their family’s Europe vacation with Celeste, saying they’re happy to have granted the latter’s dream trip. He then appealed to the public to give their family the time to grieve.
“We’ll miss you so much Momsy!” he said. “The best mom in law anyone could have! The OG, the coolest Grandma, the funniest, and one who never runs out of chika because she knows all the issues on [Facebook].”
“Chesca will give her message soonest when she can gather her strength.,” he stated. We’re all so heartbroken, the kids, family and especially Chesca and her siblings. Keep us in your prayers.”
Chesca, for her part, shared through her Instagram Stories a Bible verse which gives her hope amid bereavement.
“I will never forget this awful time as I grieve over my loss, yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!’”, it read.
Chesca as well as her siblings actor Patrick Garcia and Pichon Garcia have yet to disclose further details on their mom’s passing and wake as of this writing.
