My sincere sympathy to my cousins and their families on the passing of Aunt Stella. Losing a loved one is always difficult, but it is a comfort to know that she is now with all those she loved who have gone on before her. My prayers are with all of you.

Dearest Grandma,

I will never forget the overnight stays as a youngster in your huge featherbed, playing gin rummy, your homemade angel food cake, your beautiful afghans, the warm booties you made for my feet each Christmas, you playing the organ for us on our birthdays, your warm hugs, kisses, and your beautiful smile.

You will be deeply missed by everyone.

All of our love,
