Dear Joe, Louise and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
Joe and Louise you must know my fondest memories of your Mom were when the gang would stop over your house to pick up Joe and hang outside. Mrs. D'Uva was always so friendly to us and made us feel like part of the family.
She will certainly have a special place in heaven.
Love,
Russell & Deborah Datson

Dear Louise and Family,
My family and I are so sorry to hear about Stella. She was a pleasure to know and a good roommate to my mom. She will be missed by everyone. It's so ironic that our mothers ended up together after we had known each other all these years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Cornell and Murphy Family

Although I can't say I knew her well, I did have the pleasure of having brief converstions with her while viviting my mother at the nursing home. She impressed me as a vibrant, strong willed woman who had a positve outlook on life and was a pleasure to talk to.
My condolences to her family and friends.

Rest in Peace.
