Being a member of the P.A.C.C. Ladies Auxiliary, I was fortunate to have visited Stella on a few occasions at the Resurrection Rest Home. She was a delightful conversationalist, an upbeat woman, and a gentle soul. In spirit I'm sending Stella an early birthday greeting-Happy Birthday, Stella, as you celebrate it in heaven!

You are all remembered in my prayers.

With heartfelt sympathy,
Theresa

I worked with Stella many years ago at the Thruway Authority and always thought Stella was a wonderful woman and a joy to know. We also attended many dances at the Polish Community Center and remember all the fun we had there with Stella and her family.
