She will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved her. I’m sorry for your loss.
I am so terribly sorry for the loss of Stella, she always made me feel loved and I know that she is pain free now and in a much better place with Poppa where she will live eternally. May your memories of her live on in your hearts I know they will in mine
Donald, so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I know how hard this must be and she was a wonderful person. I know my sister thought the world of your parents. Prayers and thoughts are with you and your brothers during this trying time. God Bless.
Jim and I would like to say how sorry we were to hear about Stella. She took line dancing with us a long time ago. We will really miss her.
I really enjoyed dancing with Stella for several years. She was a grand lady and will be missed. My condolences to her family.
