I remember the wonderful visits to your mother's home and gift shop with my mother (Stella's cousin) Clara Gritzke. Her Polish hospitality and food made wonderful memories. Stella was kind to all with her expansive personality. She was blessed with a long life and may she be blessed with an eternal life in heaven.

Dear Zoladz Family, Mrs. Zoladz was and is the most excellent example of the Proverbs 31 woman! I can see her perfectly reflected in each verse...never idle, a wise woman, a faithful wife and a loving mother. "She stretches out her hand to the poor, yea; she reaches forth her hand to the needy. Her children arise up and call her blessed." I loved Mrs. Z. I thank God I had the glorious opportunity to know her and glean wisdom from her. What a blessing she has been to her children, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren! What a blessing she has been to me.

We are sorry, we were unable to say Good Bye to my Aunt.
She was my next door neighbor in my youth, a Lady of Wisdom as I grew older.
She loved her Hats, and we loved her.
