I am saddened for the loss of Stella but know that she is at peace. I am greatful to have 'grown up' in my early professional years with the guidance of Y.T. and the grace that was Stella. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Stella had a special warmth and smile for everyone she met. She had a generous heart and spirit. I think of a "Steel Magnolia" when I think of her! May your memories of Stella comfort you in time.

I am so sad to learn of Stella's death. I was in the choir at Second Ponce with her and loved her so much. She always had a wonderful smile and a hug. I remember exactly where she sat in choir and where she sat in the sanctuary at Second Ponce on my wedding day in 1991. I will always remember her as a sweet precious friend. May God comfort all of you and give you His peace that passes all understanding.
