We had not seen Stella for several years, still we have fond memories of Stella as a kind and loving woman who greatly cherished her family. We were lucky enough to be able to share many special times with Stella and the Allard family and will always be grateful for the way we were welcomed into the family by everyone. We are happy to have known Stella and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with the family.
