KVIA reporter/anchor Celina Avila will say goodbye to viewers at 10 p.m. Wednesday, and the station's general manager Kevin Lovell has written a touching tribute column about Avila and her journalist work.
After eight years at KVIA, Avila, a native El Pasoan who has become popular among viewers, will be moving to Riverside, Calif. to join her husband Brian Wickstrom, the athletics director at UC Riverside.
"Celina has always been pretty. But she’s had to grow and mature into becoming an outstanding anchor and dogged reporter when she sinks her teeth into a story," Lovell writes in his column.

That's beautiful. A very moving piece which left tears in my eyes. When the article started and he went on and on about how drop dead gorgeous she is, I assumed this was another fluff piece about what a sexy lady she is. But when he recounted all her major accomplishments as a journalist, I realized for the first time that she is much, more than just a sweet piece of tail. I wish her all the best in her bucolic endeavors.

Celina indeed is attractive, as long as she keeps her mouth shut. I will not miss her whiny, nasally voice.

Celina, if you get any traffic tickets to where you're going...PAY THEM(!!!) before they become warrants and you get arrested. You're not gonna be able to call the Deputy Chief of Police and "DEMAND!!!" that you be released because of you're supposed stature within the community

Mike, tell us where you work so we can find out how flawlessly you do your job. I'm sure your co-workers appreciate your perfect elocution. Now, run along and google 'elocution', and stop bothering the grown-ups.
And Sean, just because you're a nobody who takes out his frustrations about being a nobody on your little laptop in your mother's basement, don't blame Celina. It's not her fault you're an overweight, poorly potty trained imbecile whose keyboard is sticky. And stop touching yourself - you'll go blind.

Dear "hahaha!", I'm amazed as to how much you know about me (as I sit here trying to clean-off my keyboard)and all the points that you got right. I can only imagine what it's like to live in such a "perfect" world as yours...please let me know, I'd like to visit some day. In the meantime, I think I'll go answer the door and pay for my pizza that I just ordered and go back to watching PORNO all day long. Yes, LIFE IS GOOD!!!
