Mom has been a wonderful mom to both Dave and I. Dave holds her in a very special place in his heart. He loved her dearly. Stella welcomed me into the family and made me feel like a daughter and for that I’m truly grateful. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and always tried to make the best of any situation. She was a very kind and sincere person..a true lady!! Mom, we pray that you are at peace now in a beautiful place. We love and miss you. Rest in peace, Mom. David and Sue

"Grandma with the Fish" as her great-grandchildren called her, always had a ready smile and a cup of tea when her family came for a visit. Waffles at Whitespot were, at one time, a regular part of a visit too. Rest easy Grandma, we will miss you.

My Grandmother was a beautiful person. All she ever wanted was to spend time with her family. I'll never forget her smile and how she truly loved everyone. I have happy memories to last me a life time - thank you Grandma - I love you and I miss you!
