Read MoreI moved to Cleveland to attend Case Western Reserve school of law, with no place to live. Stella took me in, introduced me around at no charge.

I was very saddened to hear of Stella’s passing. While I didn’t have the privilege to know her as many years as others, my first encounter was very memorable. She opened her arms wide open to welcome someone she had just met, put me at ease and comfortable within seconds and treated me like family.

It is with great sorrow and deep appreciation I offer these words of tribute to Stella. With her passing, a light has gone out for many of us, especially her family Roger, Marguerite and Makende; Richard and Virginia; and Penny.

It was a shock to learn of Stella's passing. She lit up every room she walked into, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought of her as a force of nature. She did not sleepwalk through her life, she lived it. Her children fought with her and were challenged by her, but never stopped loving her. And she loved them - wholly and completely.
She was a knitter of hats (we have two of them, plus a scarf), a co-conspirator of wayward children, and an eagerly willing dance partner....
